Solution

The correct option is A

142g


The given reactions involve certain compounds which are not needed for calculations.
Balance the reaction in a way that the unnecessary compounds get cancelled.
12Cl2 + 24KOH 12KClO + 12KCl + 12H2O
12KClO 8KCl + 4KClO3
4KCIO3 3KClO4 + KCl
12Cl2 + 24KOH 3KClO4+ 21KCl + 12H2O
We cancel the compounds on either side of the arrow
From this final balanced equation
12 moles of Cl2 gives 3 moles of KClO4
12 × (35.5 × 2=71)g = 3 × (138.5)g
23g of KCIO4=23×12×713×138.5

23g of KClO4 gives142g of Cl2

Note: approximate weight of KClO4=138
