Question

2kNO3 ______> 2kNO2 + O2. which type of reaction is this...

Answer 1

it's an example of decomposition reaction as a single compound decimposed to two

Answer 2

Answer:

This is a type of decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

The reaction is as follows:-

2KNO₃⇒2KNO₂+O₂             (1)

Where,

KNO₃=Potassium nitrate

KNO₂=Potassium nitrite

O₂=Oxygen

Here, in reaction (1) we can see that potassium nitrate decomposes or breaks down to potassium nitrite and oxygen. So, this is a breakdown reaction of some sort.

One reactant is broken down into two or more products in a decomposition reaction, which is a type of chemical reaction.
