Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Balanced] 2KClO₃ (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O₂ (g)

[Given] 3.50 mol KClO₃

[Solve] mol O₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 2 mol KClO₃ (s) → 3 mol O₂ (g)

Step 3: Stoichiometry

  1. [DA] Set up conversion:                                                                                  [tex]\displaystyle 3.50 \ mol \ KClO_3(\frac{3 \ mol \ O_2}{2 \ mol \ KClO_3})[/tex]
  2. [DA} Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                                      [tex]\displaystyle 5.25 \ mol \ O_2[/tex]
