Question

2.(04.01 LC)

Fill in the blank with the correct number to balance the equation: KClO3 - 2KCI + 302. (Enter only a whole number.) (3 points)

Answer 1

2KClO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2

The coefficients are 2, 2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following equation:

KClO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2

The above equation can be balance as follow:

There are 2 atoms of K on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of KClO3 as shown below:

2KClO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2

Now, the equation is balanced.

Thus, the coefficients are 2, 2, 3
