Answer:

1.1 mol of O2

Explanation:

First we need the balance chemical equation which is

2 H2O2 -------> 2 H2O + O2

This is important because in stoichiometry you can go from units of one thing to other by using mole ratios, here the mole ratio is 2 mol of H2O2  for one mole of O2.

[tex]2.2 mol H2O2 \frac{1mol O2}{2 mol H2O2}[/tex] = 1.1 mol of O2
