Which of the following represents disproportionation of potassium chlorate?
Options
- A(2 KClO ₃ 2 KCl +3 O ₂ )
- B(3 KClO ₃ 2 KClO ₂+ KClO ₃ )
- C(4 KClO ₃ 3 KClO ₄+ KCl )
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
C. (4 KClO ₃ 3 KClO ₄+ KCl )
Step-by-step solution
( (+5) 4 KClO ₃ 3 (-7) KClO ₄ + (-1) KCl ) Potassium chlorate disproportionate into potassium perchlorate and potassium chloride at higher temperature. Hence, the correct option is (c).
