Options
- ABoth statements-I and II are correct
- BBoth statements-I and II are not correct
- CStatement-I is correct but statement-II is not correct
- DStatement-I is not correct but statement-II is correct
Correct answer
A. Both statements-I and II are correct
Step-by-step solution
Decomposition of potassium chlorate can be represented as: ( +1~+5~-2 2 KClO _ 3(s) 2 +1~-1 KCl _ (s) +3 0 O _ 2( g ) )
