What is the theoritcal yield of KClO3 if .250 moles of KCl react with .500moles of O2 according to the following eqt 2KCl+3O2__2KCLO3
2 KCl + 3 O2 ----------------> 2 KClO3
2 3 2
0.250 0.500 ??
here limiting reagent is KCl .
2 mol KCl ---------------> 2 mol KClO3
0.250 mol KCl -----------> ??
thereotical yield of KClO3 = 0.250 x 2 /2
thereotical yield of KClO3 = 0.250 mol
= 30.6 g
