Question

At STP, how many liters of $O_2$ can be produced by completely decomposing $2.00$ moles of $KCl{O}_3$?

• A. $11.2$
• B. $22.4$
• C. $33.6$
• D. $44.8$
• E. $67.2$

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

$67.2$

$2KCl{O}_3\to 2KCl+3O_2$
The decomposition of 2 moles of $KCl{O}_3$ gives 3 moles of oxygen.
At STP, one mole of oxygen ocupies a volume of 22.4 L.
3 moles of oxygen will occupy a volume of $3\times 22.4L=67.2L$.
