Balance the following equation. Then determine the ratio for the products KCl and O2 generated during the decomposition of potas
2 answers:
Answer: 2:3
Explanation: Decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
according to the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of potassium chlortae on decomposition gives 2 moles of and 3 moles of

Atoms or molecule after gaining of electron possesses negative charge and is known as anion.
For the given sets:
The given elements are alkali metals and have tendency to lose electrons easily and form cations.
The given elements are non-metals and are electronegative. So, they gain electrons easily and form anion.
Carbon has tendency to form bond by sharing of electrons, Sulfur has tendency to gain electrons and form anion whereas Lead has tendency to lose electron.
Potassium and Iron has tendency to lose electron and form cation whereas Bromine has tendency to gain electron to form anion.
Hence, from the given sets, all elements of set: have tendency to form anions in binary ionic compounds.
