Question

2. You and your lab partner will write out a balanced molecular equation for the reaction of potassium chlorate plus sugar. For this demonstration, your TA is going to heat potassium chlorate in a test tube, which will cause it to decompose to potassium chloride and oxygen gas. Write the balanced oxygen gas 3 pts) 3. Once the potassium chlorate has begun to decompose, your TA is going to add a gummy bear ry component of gummy bears is table sugar, sucrose, which will bum in the presence of oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write the balanced molecular equation for this reaction(3 ptsL 4. Now write a balanced molecular equation describing the reaction of potassium chla ccular equation describing the reaction of potassium chlorate plus ill form carbon dioxide gas,water vapor, and potassium chloride 2pts): Chem 105. Modified 2017

Explanation / Answer

Potassium chlorate decomposition reaction

2 KClO3(s) = 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g)

oxygen and sugar

C12H22O11(s) + 12 O2(g) = 12 CO2(g) + 11 H2O(g)

combined reaction is

C12H22O11 (s) + 8 KClO3 (s) = 12 CO2 (g) + 11 H2O (g) + 8 KCl (s)
