Question

Which type of chemical reaction occurs in 2KClO3 ------> 2KCl + 3O2?

Answer 1

The following reaction is a DECOMPOSITION reaction evident by the fact that instead of multiple reactants reacting to produce products, a single compound breaks up (decompose) to form multiple products.

Answer 2

Answer: Decomposition reaction

Explanation: Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a single reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition requires energy for breaking of bonds and thus is always a endothermic process. It may occur in the presence of heat, light or electricity.
