Question

write a balanced equation describing each of the following chemical reactions:
(a)solid potassium chlorate KClO3decomposes to form diatomic oxygen gas
(b)solid aluminum metal reacts with solid diatomic iodine to form solid Al2I6
(c)When sodium chloride is added to aqueous sulfuric acid and hydrogen chloride a gas and aqueous sodium sulfate are produced
(d) aqueoussolutions of phosphoric acid potassium hydroxide reacts to produce aqueous potasssium dihydrogen phosphate and liquid water

Answer 1

Explanation:

( a )

The decomposition reaction of KClO₃ to form diatomic oxygen gas is the following way -

2  KClO₃ ( s )  -------> 2 KCl ( s ) +  3O₂ ( g )

( b )

The reaction of solid metal of Aluminum with Iodine in the following way -

2 Al ( s )  +  3 I₂ ( s ) ------> Al₂I₆ ( s )

( c )

The reaction of sodium chloride with aqueous sulfuric acid is as follow -

2 NaCl ( s )   +  H₂SO₄ ( aq ) ------>  2 HCl ( g ) +  Na₂SO₄ ( aq )

( d )

The reaction of phosphoric acid with potassium hydroxide , in the following way -

H₃PO₄ ( aq ) + KOH ( aq ) ------> KH₂PO₄ ( aq ) + H₂O ( l )
