Interpretation:
The word equation and the skeleton equation for the reaction of solid potassium chlorate to yield potassium chloride and oxygen gas on heating needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Word equation for a reaction is the equation in which
Answer to Problem 3PP
Word equation is,
Skeleton equation is,
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is the heating of solid potassium chlorate gives product potassium chloride and oxygen.
So, the word equation is,
The valency of potassium (K) ion is +1 and the chlorate
The valency of potassium (K) ion is +1 and the chloride
The chemical formula of oxygen is
So, the skeleton equation is,
Both skeleton and word equation for a reaction can be determined if the reactants and products are known.
