Sulfur is an element in the periodic table that has a chemical symbol of S. This element is the 16th element in periodic table. This means that the atomic number or number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to 16.
The number following the name of the element is the mass number. The following are the complete symbol that are arranged as follows:
chemical symbol - atomic number - mass number
*Sulfur-32
S - 16 - 32
*Sulfur-33
S - 16 - 33
*Sulfur-34
S - 16 - 34

Answer:
Notice that the number of atoms of
K
and
Cl
are the same on both sides, but the numbers of
O
atoms are not. There are 3
O
atoms on the the left side and 2 on the right. 3 and 2 are factors of 6, so add coefficients so that there are 6
O
atoms on both sides.

Now the
K
and
Cl
atoms are not balanced. There are 2 of each on the left and 1 of each on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of
KCl
.
2KClO

The equation is now balanced with 2
K
atoms,
