I am supposed to map out the following and can't figure out howto do it! Can somebody help? The experiment has to do withdetermining the simplest formula of potassium chlorate and todetermine the original amount of potassium chlorate in a potassiumchlorate-potassium chloride mixture by measuring the oxygen lostfrom decomposition.
The chemical reaction is 2KClO3(s) ------> 2KCL(s) + 3O2(g)
I am supposed to map out
1. Mass of oxygen lost in the first part
2. Number of moles of oxygen atoms evolved
3.Mass of potassium chloride(residue)
4.Number of moles of potassium chloride
5.Number of moles of potassium atoms in potassium chlorate
6.Number of moles of Clatoms in potassiu chlorate
7.Number of moles of oxygen atoms in potassium chlorate
8.Simplest formula of potassium chlorate
Part b
1.Mass of unknown mixture
2.Mass of oxygen lost
3.Number of moles of oxygen atoms evolved
4.number of moles of potassium chlorate decomposed
5.Mass of potassium chlorate in original sample
6.Percentage by weight of potassium chlloare in unknown
here are the data tables.
