Question

Potassium chlorate on heating gives potassium chloride and oxygen.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• A decomposition reaction in which a single reactant decomposed into two or more products on a heating, this reaction is called a thermal decomposition reaction.
• On heating potassium chlorate, it decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen.

${\mathrm{KClO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\stackrel{∆}{\to }\mathrm{KCl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)$

Therefore, the given statement is true.
