3.25 C because I said so and energy is green
Answer:
2K (s) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2KCl (s)
Explanation:
Potassium and chlorine gas combine to form potassium chloride which is an ionic compound. The reaction is a type of combination reaction in which chlorine is being added to the metal, potassium.
Potassium reacts violently with the chlorine which is yellowish green in color to produce white solid of potassium chloride.
The balanced reaction is shown below as:
2K (s) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2KCl (s)
Mg gained mass because it went from being a single element (on the reactant side) to being a molecule (on the product side).
