Question

2KCIO3 → 2KCI + 3O2

For the reaction above, use the balanced equation to determine how many moles of Oxygen would be needed to produce 8 moles of potassium chlorate.

Answers

The answer is zero. No amount of oxygen will produce KClO3. What you meant to ask, I'm sure, is "how many moles of KClO3 will be needed to produce 8 moles O2. That answer is
8 moles O2 x (2 moles KClO3/3 mols O2) = 8*2/3 = 16/3 mols
2KCIO3 → 2KCI + 3O2
