1. Write the equation and balance it.
2. Convert what you have (KClO3) to moles. # moles = grams/molar mass.
3. Using the coefficient in the balanced equation, convert mole KClO3 to moles O2.
4. Now use PV = nRT to convert moles O2 at STP to liters of O2 at the other conditions.
Post your work if you get stuck.
How many liters of oxygen gas at 153 degrees celsius and 0.820 atm can be produced by the decomposition of 22.4 g of solid KClO3? (The other decomposition product is solid potassium chloride)
