Answer:

The coefficient of O2 is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ba(ClO3)2 —> BaCl2 + O2

The equation can be balance as follow:

There are a total of 6 atoms of O on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Ba(ClO3)2 —> BaCl2 + 3O2

Now the equation is balanced.

Therefore the coefficient of O2 is 3
