Question

rosa was looking for patterns to help predict the products of chemical reactions. she recorded three similar decomposition reactions in the table. what products should she record in the last row of the table? 2licl + 3o₂ 3licl + 2o₂ 2lio + 3cl₂ 3lio + 2cl₂

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the pattern

In the first reaction \(2NaClO_3
ightarrow2NaCl + 3O_2\), and the second reaction \(2KClO_3
ightarrow3O_2+2KCl\). The pattern for the decomposition of \(MClO_3\) (\(M = Na, K, Li\)) is \(2MClO_3
ightarrow2MCl+3O_2\)

Step2: Apply the pattern to \(LiClO_3\)

When \(M = Li\), substituting into the pattern \(2MClO_3
ightarrow2MCl + 3O_2\), we get \(2LiClO_3
ightarrow2LiCl+3O_2\)

Answer:

\(2LiCl + 3O_2\) (the first option)
