The chemical equation 2KClO3 -> 2KCl + 3O2

Detailed information about the equation 2KClO₃ -> 2KCl + 3O₂ -> :
This chemical equation describes the decomposition reaction of potassium chlorate (KClO₃) into potassium chloride (KCl) and oxygen gas (O₂). In this reaction, 2 moles of KClO₃ decompose to produce 2 moles of KCl and 3 moles of O₂.

Reaction conditions:
This reaction requires heat to occur, usually at high temperatures. When heated, KClO₃ will decompose.

Reaction process:
As the temperature increases, the KClO₃ molecules receive more energy, increasing the collision rate between molecules and the KClO₃ molecules begin to decompose into KCl and O₂.

Phenomena occurring:
When the temperature is high enough, KClO₃ begins to decompose and produces oxygen gas. The oxygen gas will escape in the form of bubbles if the reaction occurs in a solution or in the form of gas if the reaction occurs in air. Simultaneously, solid KCl is also formed.
