Question

Balance the following chemical equation: $KN{O}_3\to KN{O}_2+O_2$

Answer 1

Step 1: understanding the concept A balanced chemical equation is one in which all of the elements have an equal amount of atoms on both sides of the chemical equation.

To follow the law of conservation of mass, chemical reactions must be balanced.

Step 2: Balance the following chemical equation;$KN{O}_3\to KN{O}_2+O_2$

In general, however, you should follow these steps:

1. Count each type of atom in reactants and products.
2. Place coefficients, as needed, in front of the symbols or formulas to increase the number of atoms or molecules of the substances. ...
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the equation is balanced.

$2KN{O}_3\stackrel{Heat}{\to }2KN{O}_2+O_2$

The above equation is a balanced equation.
