Given the balanced equation:
2KClO3==> 2KCl + 3O2
Which type of reaction is represented by this equation?
(1) synthesis
(2) decomposition
(3) single replacement
(4) double replacement

Sagot :

The the type of reaction is Decomposition. Because u broke down one compound into smaller pieces.

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An equation in which the the number of reactants equal the number of products is known as a balanced equation.

Whereas a reaction in which a compound dissociates into two or more compounds is known as a decomposition reaction.

Therefore, the given reaction [tex]2KClO_3 \rightarrow 2KCl + 3O_2[/tex] represents that [tex]KClO_{3}[/tex] decomposes into KCl and [tex]O_{2}[/tex].

Hence, it is a decomposition reaction.
