Write the complete balanced equation for the decomposition of Al(ClO3)3. You do not need to make your subscripts smaller; just write them out as regular numbers. For example: Al(ClO3)4

Chlorates decompose to form O2 and a chloride. Therefore, the balanced equation for the decomposition of Al(ClO3)3 would be as follows:

2 Al(ClO3)3 ----> 2 AlCl3 + 9 O2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer: The reaction is \(2Al(ClO_3)_3\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+9O_2\)

Explanation: Decomposition reactions are the reactions in which a larger compound dissociates into two or more smaller compounds.

Decomposition reaction for \(Al(ClO_3)_3\) follows:

\(Al(ClO_3)_3\rightarrow AlCl_3+\frac{9}{2}O_2\)

The subscripts for the reaction is expressed only in whole numbers, so the subscript of oxygen has to be changed to a whole number by multiplying all the compounds by 2.

Now, the equation becomes:

\(2Al(ClO_3)_3\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+9O_2\)
