Answer: 2:3
Explanation: Decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
according to the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of potassium chlortae on decomposition gives 2 moles of and 3 moles of

Answer:
The correct answer is: Ka= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶
Explanation:
The ionization of a weak monoprotic acid HA is given by the following equilibrium: HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻. At the beginning (t= 0) we have 0.200 M of HA. Then, a certain amount (x) is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻, as is detailed in the following table:
HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
t= 0 0.200 M 0 0
t -x x x
t= eq 0.200M -x x x
At equilibrium, we have the following ionization constant expression (Ka):
Ka=
Ka=
Ka=
From the definition of pH, we know that:
pH= - log [H⁺]
In this case, [H⁺]= x, so:
pH= -log x
3.0= -log x
⇒x = 10⁻³
We introduce the value of x (10⁻³) in the previous expression and then we can calculate the ionization constant Ka as follows:
Ka= =
= 5.025 x 10⁻⁶= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶
