Oxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate

Oxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation: 2KC1O3(s)- +2KCI(s) + 3O2(g) The product gas, O₂, is collected over water at a temperature of 20 °C and a pressure of 745 mm Hg. If the wet O₂ gas formed occupies a volume of 8.57 L, the number of grams of O₂ formed is g. The vapor pressure of water is 17.5 mm Hg at 20 °C.
