Answer:

Explanation:

Search for "Rosalind Franklin: DNA's unsung hero - Cláudio L. Guerra" which basically summarizes what Rosalind did and how we was snubbed from receiving the noble prize even though she had vast and critical evidence to highlight the structure of DNA. You can look for more sources but I can tell you a quick recap:

Rosalind Franklin was born in an era where women scientists or workers were very uncommon and they were even discriminated and looked down upon. After her phD., she was working to find the structure of DNA and soon she was able to form an x-ray image of it. However, her lab colleague took the picture and showed it to other scientists (Watson and Crick) without the knowledge or permission of Rosalind. Here Rosalind was working on analyzing her data and on other part of world Watson and Crick were doing the same. Based on Watson and Crick's analysis, they came up with the correct structure of DNA and soon Rosalind got done as well. Both submitted their paper to journal, however, the journal placed Watson and Crick paper before Rosalind (making it look like Rosalind just confirmed what Watson and Crick proposed). This made it look like Watson and Crick were geniuses behind DNA structure whereas, in reality, it was Rosalind. She would have received Nobel Prize but she died of Cancer and Nobel prizes are not awarded to dead people.

How can I balance this equation? ____ KClO3 ---> ____ KCl + ____ O2
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
__ KClO₃ → __ KCl + __ O₂

Left Side:
1 K
1 Cl
3 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
2 O

Since the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, we need to multiply the compound with 2 oxygen by 3 and the compound with 3 oxygen by 2.

This gives us 2KClO₃ → __ KCl + 3O₂.

However, this equation is still not balanced.

Left Side:
2 K
2 Cl
6 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
6 O

In order to balance the K and Cl, we need to multiply the KCl compound on the right side by 2.

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
