On being strongly heated, Potassium Chlorate gives Potassium Chloride and Oxygen.
The above statement is true because Potassium Chlorate(KClO3) decomposes when heated, giving oxygen(O2) and Potassium chloride(KCl).
Chemical equation :
2KClO3(s)→∆2KCl(s)+CO2(g)
Potassium chlorate decomposes, on heating , to form potassium chloride and oxygen. When 24.5g of potassium chlorate is decomposes completely then 14.9g of potassium chloride is formed . Calculate the mass of oxygen formed . State the law of chemical combination which you have used in solving this problem?
