=31.0mL " of " O_2=31.0mL of O2

Explanation:

  1. Write and balance the equation
    2KClO->2KCl+O_22KClO2KCl+O2
  2. I assumed that the mKClO=0.250gmKClO=0.250g. Per convention, convert it to moles. The molar mass of KClO=(90.5g)/(mol)KClO=90.5gmol which is obtainable from the periodic table; i.e.,
    etaKClO=0.250cancel(gKClO)xx(1molKClO)/(90.5cancel(gKClO)
    etaKClO=0.002762mol
  3. Referring to the balanced equation, find the etaO_2, where:
    =0.002762cancel(molKClO)xx(1molO_2)/(2cancel(molKClO))
    =0.001381molO_2
  4. At STP, mol of a gas will occupy a volume of 22.4L. This relationship will serve as the conversion factor to find the volume of O_2 collected at this condition.
    V_(O_2)=0.001381cancel(molO_2)xx(22.4L" of " O_2)/(1cancel(molO_2))
    V_(O_2)=0.03094L" of " O_2~~31.0mL" of "O_2
