Potassium chlorate decomposes to produce potassium chloride and oxygen gas according to the balanced equation below. If 1.00 g of potassium chlorate decomposes, and 0.500 g of solid potassium chloride is collected, what is the theoretical yield of potassium chloride and the % Yield of potassium chloride

The theoretical yield of potassium chloride is 0.596 grams and the % Yield of potassium chloride is 83.9%

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of produce= 2 moles of

Thus 0.008 moles of will produce=  of

Theoretical yield of

% yield =

The theoretical yield of potassium chloride is 0.596 grams and the % Yield of potassium chloride is 83.9%
