Potassium hypochlorite when dissolved in water would dissociate into ions namely the potassium ions and the hypochlorite ions. Furthermore, hypochlorite ions would interact with water molecules and would decompose further. The dissociation reactions are as follows:
KClO <=> K+ + ClO-
ClO- + H2O <=> HOCl + OH-
Adding the two reactions, would give
KClO + ClO- + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH- + ClO-
The two ClO- ions in both sides would cancel giving us the net ionic equation:
KClO + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH-
Answer:
water evaporates from the ocean into atmosphere. water vapour condenses to form clouds. clouds produce rain. rainwater needed for plant growth.
Explanation:
It is a combustion reaction because when methane burns with oxyzen it produces carbon dioxide,water and heat and light.
