Rosa was looking for patterns to help predict the products of chemical reactions. She recorded three similar decomposition reactions in the table.

What products should she record in the last row of the table?

1.2LiCl + 3O2
2.3LiCl + 2O2
3.2LiO + 3Cl2
4.3LiO+ 2Cl2

This type of reaction is a decomposition reaction which involves one compound that yields to more than one product (usually two). To determine the product, you can deduce that it must contain elements of Li, Cl and O₂. So, from the choices, the answer could be 1 or 2. However, when you balance the reaction, you will know that the answer is 1.
