Decomposition of potassium chlorate (KClO3) produces potassium chloride (KCl) and pure oxygen (O2). The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows.
2KClO3(s) => 2KCl(s)+3O2(g)
What volume of oxygen gas is released at STP if 10.0 g of potassium chlorate is decomposed? (The molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g/mol.)
