6.7 grams of lithium chloride will be produced.
Lithium chlorate is LiClO₃ and lithium chloride is LiCl. The reaction is,
2LiClO₃ = 2LiCl +3O₂.
So here, 2 moles of lithium chlorate produces 2 moles of lithium chloride.
Or, one molecule of lithium chlorate will produce one mole of lithium chloride.
Molecular weight of lithium chlorate =[tex]6.9 + 35.5 + 16\times3[/tex] = 90.4.
So, 14.3 grams of lithium chlorate has 0.16 moles of lithium chlorate.
Thereby, moles of lithium chloride produced is 0.16 moles.
Molecular weight of lithium chloride = [tex]6.9+35.5[/tex] = 42.4 grams.
So weight of lithium chloride produced = [tex]42.4 \times 0.16[/tex] = 6.7 grams.
Thus, weight of lithium chloride produced will be 6.7 grams.
