How will you enhance the rate of decomposition of potassium chlorate?

Answer»

Solution :On heating potassium chlorate.It decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas,but at a SLOWER rate.If maganese dioxide is added,it increases the REACTION rate.
`2KClO_(3)underset(Delta)OVERSET(MnO_(2))to2KCl+3O_(2)uarr`
Here `MnO_(2)` is catalyst,Therefore addition of `MnO_(2)` enhance the rate of DECOMPOSITION of potassium chlorate.
