Chapter 8, Problem 8.50AQAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The balanced chemical reaction and its type needs to be determined for the given reaction of potassium chlorate and oxygen gas.

Concept Introduction:

A chemical equation is said to be balanced if there are equal number of atoms of a kind in both the reactants as well as the products.

Chemical reactions can broadly be classified into 5 types based on how the reactants interact to form products, these include: combination reaction, decomposition reaction, single replacement, double replacement and combustion reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The balanced chemical reaction and its type needs to be determined for the given reaction of carbon monoxide and oxygen gas.

Concept Introduction:
