A student heats a 2.8594 gram sample of a mixture that contains an unknown amount of
potassium chlorate (KCIO3) in a test tube in the presence of some MnO₂ catalyst. The KClO3 in
the mixture decomposes during the heating process, releasing its oxygen. After the sample has
cooled the student finds the mass of the sample residue to be 2.1203 grams.
1. How many grams of oxygen atoms were in the KClO3 in the original sample?
