Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Balanced equation has to be given for the given processes.
Concept introduction:
Balanced equation: The overall mass of the all starting materials should be equal to the overall mass of the products. This is governed by the law of conservation of mass.
To give: balanced equation for the production of potassium nitrite and oxygen gas from potassium nitrate by heating.
