Question

When rhe potassium chlorate is heated in the presence of a catylist , it decomposes to form potassium chloride and Oxygen gas.

1) Write down the cataylist used.

2) What is meant by cataylist?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Catalyst :-

✔✔Manganese dioxide

Because it decomposes to form potassium chloride and oxygen gas

What is catalyst?

Ans:- Its a substance that speeds up with a chemical reaction but it is not consumed by the reaction hence we can say that the recovered chemical unchanged at the end of any reaction is known as catalyst.

Hope it helps you

Answer 2

The cataylist used in the decomposition reaction of potassium chlorate is Manganese oxide.

The products formed in the above reaction are Potassium chloride and oxygen.

What is meant by cataylist?

The cataylist are those substances which influence the rate of reaction.

They can increase the rate of reaction also they can decrease the rate of reaction.

There are two types of cataylist :

• Positive Cataylist - Those who increase the rate of reaction are positive cataylist.

• Negative Cataylist - Those who decrease the rate of reaction are negative cataylist.
