    Answer: oxygen=2.547g

    Explanation:

    Based on the question, it was observed that the reaction is reversible

    2 moles of KClO3 gives 2 moles of KCl and three moles of O2

    Molar mass for KClO3 is 245 g/mol

    Molar mass for O2 is 96 g/mol

    We are to find the mass of O2 and we Are given the mass KCLO3 is 6.50g

    245g of KClO3 gives 96g of O2

    6.50g of KClO3 gives xg of O2

    Cross multiply

    245x=624

    X=624/245

    X=2.547g

    Therefore the gram of oxygen is 2.547g
