Find grams of product using a balanced chemical equation

[trivk96]

Homework Statement

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

How many grams of potassium chloride are produced if 25 g of potassium chlorate decompose

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

25g * (1 mole KClO₃/122.45 g KClO₃) *(74.45g/ 1 mole KCl) =15.2 g KCl

is this right??

Final result is OK, although you are missing a conversion factor, one that is crucial for the stoichiometry - 2 moles KCl produced per each 2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed. Luckily to you 2/2 is just 1.
