Solid Potassium Chlorate decomposes upon heating. Find the Net Ionic Equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did this:\[2KClO_3 ^{(aq)}\rightarrow 2KCl^{(aq)}+3O_2 ^{(g)}\]\[2K^{+1~(aq)}+2ClO_3 ^{-1~(aq)} \rightarrow 2K^{+1~(aq)} + 2Cl^{-1~(aq)} + 3O_2^{(g)}\]\[2ClO_3 ^{-1~(aq)} \rightarrow 2Cl^{-1~(aq)} + 3O_2^{(g)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only thing confusing me is that if it says Solid in front of a compound does it mean that it's \(^{(s)}\) or is it still \(^{(aq)}\) if it follows the rules of solubility?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

what do you know about the rules of solubility?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that all halogens except silver, lead, and mercury, are soluble and all group ones are soluble and all nitrates are soluble and all ammoniums and acetates are soluble and all sulfates are soluble except group two, silver, and lead and Ba, Sr, are also soluble, etc....i know enough to say that KClO3 is soluble but the "solid" part is throwing me off

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

All common compounds of Group I and ammonium ions are soluble. All nitrates, acetates, and chlorates are soluble. All binary compounds of the halogens (other than F) with metals are soluble, except those of Ag, Hg(I), and Pb. Pb halides are soluble in hot water.) All sulfates are soluble, except those of barium, strontium, calcium, lead, silver, and mercury (I). The latter three are slightly soluble. Except for rule 1, carbonates, hydroxides, oxides, silicates, and phosphates are insoluble. Sulfides are insoluble except for calcium, barium, strontium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and ammonium. Gases It is very helpful to be able to recognize the formulas for those gases that may be used or produced during the course of a chemical reaction. The way to indicate that a compound is a gas when you write a chemical equation is to place (g) after the formula, such as HCl(g). Here is a list of some of the more common gases: F2, Cl2, H2, N2, O2, SO2, SO3, CO, CO2, H2S, NO, NO2, NH3, P2O3, P2O5, SiF4, HCl, HBr, HI, HF, N2O5, N2O3, N2O

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

Cl is in what group?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a halogen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

group 7

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

does it fit any of the listed rules?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is soluble

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all im asking is does the word "solid" in the question mean that KClO3 is a solid and NOT aqueous?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but NOT aqueous???

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

aqueous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKYOU ...ive been asking this question around for the past 2 hours

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

IT is AQUEOUS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^u taking chem?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it is aqueous

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it is soluble in water

OpenStudy (anonymous):

luis shutup bro, dont even....my brains all aqueous now .-.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

lmao. yes it is verified.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think Nin is here for??

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it is in the equation itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again...shutup luis :)

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

unless someone is playing miracles
