Answer:

1K2CO3 —> 1K2O + CO2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is already balanced. We can check by counting the amount of each element on each side of the equation:

_K2CO3 —> _K2O + CO2

Products Side:

• K: 2

• C: 1

• O: 3

Reactants Side:

• K: 2

• C: 1

• O: 3

Since everything matches, we can just put a coefficient of 1 in front of each potassium.

1K2CO3 —> 1K2O + CO2
