    Okay so, the molar mass (Mr) of O2 is 32g

    moles = mass/Mr

    moleS = 32.4/32 = 1.0125mol

    the Mr of KCl is 39.1+35.5 = 74.6g

    the ratio of moles of KCl to O2 is 2 : 3

    therefore moles of KCl is (1.0125/3) * 2 = 0.675mols

    mass = moles*Mr=0.675*74.6 = 50.355g

    rounds up to 50.3g therefore last answer is correct
