Answer:
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂. "decomposition reaction"
Explanation:
- To balance the equation, you should apply the law of conservation of mass for the equations.
- The law of conservation of mass states that the no. of each atom is equal in both sides (reactants and products).
- The balanced equation is:
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.
It is a decomposition reaction that 1.0 reactant is decomposed to 2 products.
That 2.0 mole of KClO₃ are decomposed to produce 2.0 moles of KCl and 3.0 moles of O₂.
- The no. of all atoms is the same in both of reactants and products side.
K (2), Cl (2), and O (6).
