Respuesta :

[tex]KI (s) ----\ \textgreater \ K(s) + I_2 (g)[/tex]

Now, balance the equation:

[tex]2KI (s) ----\ \textgreater \ 2K(s) + I_2 (g)[/tex]

[tex]I_2 [/tex] in gaseous state exist as a diatomic molecule.
Oseni

The balanced equation for the reaction would be: [tex]2KI (s) ---> I_2 (g) + 2K (s)[/tex]

Decomposition

Potassium iodide (solid) goes by the chemical formula KI (s).

Iodine gas is a diatomic molecule with the formula I2 (g).

Solid potassium goes by the formula K (s).

Thus, an amount of solid potassium iodide decomposing into iodine gas and solid potassium can be represented by the balanced equation below;

[tex]2KI (s) ---> I_2 (g) + 2K (s)[/tex]
