1.

Explain the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate by intermediate compound formation theory.

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) THERMAL decomposition of `KClO_(3)` in the presence of `MnO_(2)` PROCEEDS as follows:
(ii) ` underset("Reactant")(2KClO_3) + underset("Catalyst")(6MnO_2) to underset("intermediate COMPOUND")(6MnO_3) + underset("product")(2KCl)`
`6MnO_3to underset("Catalyst")(6MnO_2) + underset("Product")(3O_2)`
