Given the balanced equation: 2KClO₃ ---> 2KCl + 3O₂ How many moles of O₂ are produced when 4.0 moles of KCl are produced?

The answer to your question is 6.0 moles of O₂

Explanation:

Data

                      2KClO₃    ⇒     2KCl    +    3O₂

moles of O₂ = ?

moles of KCl = 4

Process

To find the number of moles of O₂, use proportions and cross multiplication.

Use the coefficients of the balanced equation.

                    2 moles of KCl 3 moles of O₂

                    4 moles of KCl  x

                          x = (4 x 3) / 2

-Simplification

                          x = 12/2

-Result

                        x = 6 moles of O₂

-Conclusion

When 4,0 moles of KCl are produced, 6.0 moles of O₂ will be produced.
