Balance the following equation : KClO_(3) to KCl + O_(2) |
|
Answer» Solution :The given equation is a SIMPLE equation and can be balanced by hit and trial method. On changing the ELEMENTARY gas `O_2` into atomic form, we get `KClO_(3) to KCl + O_(2)` `KClO_(3)` contains maximum number of atoms. Let us SELECT it to start the balancing of equation. K and CI atoms are already balanced. Oxygen can be balanced by multiplying O by 3. Thus, we get: 3O` All the atoms are now balanced. In order to change the equation in molecular form, it should be multiplied by 2. This gives `2KClO_(3) to 2KCL + 6O` or `2KClO_(3) to 2KCl + 3O_(2)` This is the final balanced equation. |
