What is the extent of reaction when the total mass of


A 6.17 g sample of solid KClO3 is decomposed by heating.

2 KClO3(s) → 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g)

(a) What is the extent of reaction, ξ, when the total mass of solids remaining (KClO3 plus KCl) is 5.52 g?

(b) What is maximum possible value for ξ in this case ?

Molar masses, in g mol-1:

K, 39.10

Cl, 35.45

O, 16.00

Enter your answers in moles. Do not include units in your answers.
