3) Show your calculations clearly. Suppose you are provided with a 36.55 g sample of potassium chlorate.
a. What mass of oxygen should theoretically be released upon heating? 
b. What mass of potassium chloride residue should theoretically be left over after heating?

•Using molar masses along with the known formula of potassium chlorate, calculate the theoretical mass percent
of oxygen in KClO3. Show your work clearly.
Molar mass of KCIO3= [39.102 + 35.453 + 3(15.9994)] g/mol
Potassium chlorate: KCIO3
Molar masses:
= 122.553 g/mol
K= 39.102 g/mol
CI= 35.453 g/mol
Mass percent of oxygen (theoretical)
O 15.9994 g/mol
*used periodic table on syllabus*
3(Molar mass of O)
Molar mass of KCIO3
3(15.9994 g/mol)
122.553 g/mol
= 39.165 %
