Answer:
(a) Balanced chemical equation for heating of potassium chlorate:
2KClO3 (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g)
(b) Balanced chemical equation for burning of magnesium in carbon dioxide to form magnesium oxide and carbon:
2Mg + CO2 → 2MgO + C
(a) Potassium chlorate (KClO3) on heating forms potassium chloride and oxygen. Write a balanced equation for this reaction and indicate the evolution of gas. (b) Rewrite the following information in the form of a balanced chemical equation: Magnesium burns in carbon dioxide to form magnesium oxide and carbon.
