In order to produce 3 moles of [tex]O_{2}[/tex], the chemical reaction needs to be balanced. the required number of moles of [tex]NaClO_{3}[/tex] are 2.
What is a balanced chemical reaction?
When the reactants undergo a chemical reaction, the number of moles on both the reactant and the product side must be balanced.
The chemical reaction of [tex]NaClO_{3}[/tex] is
2 [tex]NaClO_{3}[/tex]⇄2NaCl + 3 [tex]O_{2}[/tex]
On the left side, 2 moles of [tex]NaClO_{3}[/tex] breaks into 2 moles of NaCL and 3 moles of [tex]O_{2}[/tex]. on the right side. Therefore, both side have an equal number of moles of each element.
Hence, two moles of [tex]NaClO_{3}[/tex] is required to produce 3 moles of [tex]O_{2}[/tex].
