From the balanced equation 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, the coefficients are the following:
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chloride KCl
coefficient 3 in front of oxygen molecule O2
We got this balanced equation by identifying the number of atoms of each element that we have in the given equation KClO3 → KCl + O2.
Looking at the subscripts of each atom on the reactant side and on the product side, we have
KClO3 → KCl + O2
K=1 K=1
Cl=1 Cl=1
O=3 O=2
We can see that the oxygens are not balanced. We add a coefficient 2 to the 3 oxygen atoms on the left side and another coefficient 3 to the 2 oxygen
atoms on the right side to balance the oxygens:
2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
The coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3 multiplied by the subscript 3 of the oxygen atoms on the left side indicates 6 oxygen atoms just as the coefficient 3 multiplied by the subscript 2 on the right side indicates 6 oxygen atoms.
The number of potassium K atoms and chloride Cl atoms have changed as well:
2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
K=2 K=1
Cl=2 Cl=1
O=6 O=6
We now have two potassium K atoms and two chloride Cl atoms on the reactant side, so we add a coefficient 2 to the potassium chloride KCl on the product side:
2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, which is our final balanced equation.
K=2 K=2
Cl=2 Cl=2
O=6 O=6
The potassium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms are now balanced.
Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.
Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.
In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.
Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.
If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.
Conduction - touching hot pot
Convection - oven cycling warm air
Conduction - touching a warm coffee mug
Heat from a fire - radiation
Heat from the sun to solar panel - radiation
Warm water rising - convection
Answer:
Erosion
Explanation:
Erosion is not a cause of metamorphism
The causes are mostly temperature, pressure, heat from the metamorphic rock
