2 mol KClO3 (3mol O2/2mol KClO3)=3 mol O2
3 mol O2 (32g/mol)=96 g O2
PV=nRT
214+273=487 K = T
P(20L)=3(0.08206)(487)
Solve for P, which is in atm due to R
P=5.9945
P=6.00 atm

asked 01/17/21A sample of potassium chlorate placed in a 20.0-L container decomposes to form potassium chloride and oxygen gas.
2KClO3(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)
If the sample contained 2.0 moles of KClO3 at a temperature of 214.0 °C, determine the mass of the oxygen gas produced in grams and the pressure exerted by the gas against the container walls.
