Here is a worked example on the decomposition of KClO3. To convert 126 L O2 to n = mols, use PV = nRT and solve for n, then follow the instructions beginning with step 3.

The decomposition of KClO3 produces oxygen gas and solid KCl. What mass of KClO3 must be decomposed to produce 126 L of oxygen gas at 133 Celsius and .88 atm?
I know I need to use PV=nRT but I can't figure out how.
