Answer:
The coefficient of [tex]2 KClO_{3}[/tex] is 2
Explanation:
The Balanced Chemical equation is :
[tex]2 KClO_{3}\rightarrow 2 KCl + 3O_{2}[/tex]
This reaction is balanced because total number of atoms of different elements in reactant is equal to total number of atoms in products.
Reactant : 2 [tex]KClO_{3}[/tex]
Number of K atoms = (2)1 = 2
Number of Cl atoms = (2)1 = 2
Number of O atoms = (2)3 = 6
Product : 2 KCl and 3[tex]O_{2}[/tex]
In KCl
Number of K atoms = (2)1 = 2
Number of Cl atoms = (2)1 = 2
In [tex]3O_{2}[/tex]
Number of O atoms = (3)2 = 6
So ,
this equation is balanced and follow Law of Conservation of Mass because :
Number of K atom in reactant = product = 2
Number of Cl atom in reactant = product = 2
Number of O atom in reactant = product = 6
