Solution Summary

This solution consists of calculating the number moles of a molecule in an equation by considering the stoichiometric coefficients and molar masses. It also includes the calculations of volume by applying the gas law.

Solution Preview

To be able to solve this problem we need to realize that one thing that can be compared between reactants and products is the number of moles. By looking at the stoichiometric coefficients we see that every 2 KClO3 moles produce 3 O2 moles we can safely establish the following

2 moles KCLO3 ...

  • Photosynthesis

    But, you see, if we don't have CO2 around to utilize the ATP and the NADPH, then oxygen production will stop too. So, without light, there is no photolysis of water. Without light, there is no oxygen production.

  • Nitrogen excretion rate and metabolic rates

    The oxygen consumption method is based in the fact that the rate of heat production is strongly correlated to the rate of substrate metabolism, which can be estimated by measuring oxygen consumption.
