Solution
The correct option is C 3.92 g, 3.41 g, 87 % Reaction: 2KClO3→2KCl+302 Molar mass of KClO3=122.5 g/mole According to the reaction, 2 moles of KClO3 decomposes to 3 moles of O2 (2×122.5 g) KClO3 decomposes to 3×32 g of O2 So, 10 g of KClO3 will produce 3×322×122.5×10=3.92 g Theoretical yield = 3.92 g; Actual yield = 3.41g % yield =actual yieldtheoretical yield×100=3.413.92×100=87%
