Question

kaylaprincess · Answer

@nincompoop decomposition

alphadxg · Answer

decomposition = break up of the substance.

alphadxg · Answer

so your starting is going to be Fe(ClO3)3 -->

agreed?

kaylaprincess · Answer

agreed

alphadxg · Answer

a. Fe(ClO3)3 --> FeCl + O
b. Fe(ClO3)3 --> ClO + Fe
c. Fe(ClO3)3 --> FeO + Cl

which one do you think it is?

alphadxg · Answer

I should note the FeCl is a (s)

alphadxg · Answer

Fe(ClO3)3(s) --> FeCl(s) + O(g)

alphadxg · Answer

looks good?

kaylaprincess · Answer

Very harsh guess but B?

alphadxg · Answer

I already gave you answer :P It was the first one because it was a solid

kaylaprincess · Answer

i noticed right after i saw your post lol

alphadxg · Answer

FeCl is a solid, so it won't break up.

kaylaprincess · Answer

well thank you.

alphadxg · Answer

2Fe(ClO3)3 --> 2FeCl + 9O2

alphadxg · Answer

that is the final answer:

2Fe(ClO3)3 --> 2FeCl + 9O2

just balance it. That is it :D
