I need to write a net ionic equation for solid potassium chlorate is strongly heated. Since it is soluble to begin with, its overall ionic equation would be K Cl- = K Cl-, if I'm correct. Since both the reactants and products are aqueous, isn't there no net ionic equation? Perhaps KCl is not considered aqueous since the question states it is being heated as a solid? In this case I suppose the overall and net ionic equations would be KCl = K Cl-. Can someone tell me which of these equations is correct? If neither are correct what is the correct equation and how did you find it? Thanks!
