This is a type of decomposition reaction and the balanced reaction is as below
(2)KCIO3 → (2)KCI + (3)0₂
A decomposition reaction is the type of reaction in which the single reactant is broken down into one or more than one smaller product out of which one may or may not be a gaseous product.
In the given reaction, KClO3 is broken into KCl and O2, in which O2 is a gaseous product. Hence, the given reaction is an example of a decomposition reaction.
In the unbalanced chemical equation, the number of Potassium(K) and Chlorine(Cl) is equal on both the reactant and product sides. But the no. od Oxygen(O) is not equal.
Equating the oxygen on both sides, we get the balanced chemical equation as below:
(2)KCIO3 → (2)KCI + (3)0₂
Therefore, the above reaction is an example of a decomposition reaction and the balanced chemical reaction is (2)KCIO3 → (2)KCI + (3)0₂.
