% K =2 x 39.1 x 100/ 138.2 =56.6

% C = 12 x 100/ 138.2 =8.68

% O = 3 x 16 x 100/ 138.2 =34.7

Potassium = 56.6 %

How do you calculate the theoretical mass percentage of oxygen in potassium chlorate?

I believe it is: %O=mass of 3 mol of O / mass of 1 mol of potassium chlorate *100% If you measured it: %O=mass of oxygen lost / mass of potassium chlorate *100%

What is mass of calcium carbonate is to be decomposed to obtain 4.4 gram of carbon dioxide in the reaction caco3-cao plus o2?

The equation given shows that each formula mass of calcium carbonate produces one formula mass of CO2. The gram formula masses of calcium carbonate and carbon dioxide are 100.09 and 44.01 respectively. Therefore, to produce 4.4 grams of carbon dioxide, 4.4(100.09/44.01), or 10 grams of calcium carbonate, to the justified number of significant digits, are needed.
