The equation 2KNO3 -> 2KNO2 + O2
Detailed information about the 2KNO3 -> 2KNO2 + O2 equation The equation illustrates the decomposition of potassium nitrate (KNO3) when it is heated, producing potassium nitrite (KNO2) and oxygen gas (O2). The mass of both sides of the equation is conserved, indicating that 2 molecules of KNO3 produce 2 molecules of KNO2 and 1 molecule … Read more
