Question

Balance the following chemical reaction: KNO3 → KNO2 + O2

Answer 1

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of potassium nitrate (KNO3) to produce potassium nitrite (KNO2) and oxygen gas (O2) is:

2KNO3 → 2KNO2 + O2

This is chemistry

Answer 2

Below

Explanation:

KNO3 ===> KNO2 + O2 there is 4 o's on R and 3 on Left

4 KNO3 = 4 KNO2 + 2 O2 <=====this is balanced, but you can divide by 2

2 KNO3 = 2KNO2 + O2 <====balanced, reduced form
