At room temperature and pressure (rtp), one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm3. Potassium chlorate decomposes completely when heated, according to the equation 2KClO3→2KCl+3O22\text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow 2\text{KCl} + 3\text{O}_22KClO3→2KCl+3O2. The relative formula mass, MrM_rMr, of potassium chlorate is 122.5.
Calculate the volume, in dm3\text{dm}^3dm3, of oxygen produced, measured at rtp, when 24.5 g of potassium chlorate decomposes.
