Solution

To balance the equation K(ClO3) + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(ClO3)2 + K(OH), you need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

Step 1: Identify the number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.

On the left side, you have:

  • 1 K atom
  • 1 Cl atom
  • 3 O atoms
  • 1 Ca atom
  • 2 O atoms
  • 2 H atoms

On the right side, you have:

  • 1 Ca atom
  • 2 Cl atoms
  • 6 O atoms
  • 1 K atom
  • 1 O atom
  • 1 H atom

Step 2: Balance the atoms that appear in complex molecules first.

Start with the Cl and O atoms in ClO3. There are 2 Cl atoms and 6 O atoms on the right side in Ca(ClO3)2, so you need 2 K(ClO3) on the left side.

Now the equation is: 2K(ClO3) + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(ClO3)2 + K(OH)

Step 3: Balance the remaining atoms.

Now, balance the K, O, and H atoms in K(OH). There are 2 K atoms on the left side, so you need 2 K(OH) on the right side.

The balanced equation is: 2K(ClO3) + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(ClO3)2 + 2K(OH)
