<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
A balanced chemical equation is one where all the individual atoms are equal on both sides of the reaction. It follows the law of conservation of mass.
For the given unbalanced chemical equation:

<u>On the reactant side:</u>
Atoms of K = 1
Atoms of Cl = 1
Atoms of O = 3
<u>On the product side:</u>
Atoms of K = 1
Atoms of Cl = 1
Atoms of O = 2
To balance the equation, we must balance the atoms by adding 2 infront of both
and
. Also, a coefficient of 3 must be written infront of 
For the balanced chemical equation:

Answer: D. like dissolves like
Explanation:
The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.
Hydrocarbons are non polar in nature due to less difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen and thus are soluble in non polar solvents only.
Ionic compounds which are formed by elements with high electronegativity difference are polar in nature and thus dissolve in polar solvents.
Example:
in water.
