Question:

Net Ionic Equation KCl Decomposes

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!

  1. how about

    total molecular: 2 KClO3 --> 2 KCl & 3 O2

    becoming a net:

    2 (ClO3)-1  -->  2 Cl-1 & 3O2
