Is the following chemical equation balanced?
kcio4 + 2kci + 202
o yes
o no

need asa

No

Explanation:

The given equation is not balanced

Chemical equation:

KClO₄ → KCl + O₂

Given Balanced chemical equation:

KClO₄ → 2KCl + 2O₂

Correctly balanced chemical equation:

2KClO₄ → 2KCl + 4O₂

Now this equation is correctly balanced.

There are two potassium atom two chlorine atoms and eight oxygen atoms on both side of equation. So this is correctly balanced.

Coefficient with reactant and product:

KClO₄    2

KCl        2

O₂         4

I believe the best option is A.
