What make up O2?
Oxygen gas is never found in a monomer (O), but is always found in either the dimer form (O2), or the trimer form ozone (O3).O2 can be made by heating potassium chlorate(v) and manganese(iv) oxide.This can be used to make oxygen for scince experiments.This is because Potassium chlorate is a compound containing pottasium, chlorine and oxygen, with the molecular formula KClO3.Manganese(IV) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula MnO2.
Potassium chlorate--on heating potassium?
Despite that potassium chlorate catches on fire when it gets heated in the open, if you put it in a test tube and heat that, instead of burning it will melt into molten form, and this stage of potassium chlorate is extremely reactive, any contact with anything combustible like sugar would cause combustion of it. This is the basis for the famous gummy bear and potassium chlorate experiment. The sugar in the gummy bear would combust on contact with the molten potassium chlorate, resulting in an violent reaction.
Potassium chlorate is a rich source of oxygen It decomposes upon heating to produce potassium chloride and oxygen What is the correctly balanced equation for this reaction?
2KClO3 ----> 2KCl + 3O2
How is potassium chlorate made?
There is a good method posted on: http://www.skepticfiles.org/new/003doc.htm (just read up to "Powder these to the consistency of face powder, and heat gently to drive off all moisture.") This basically describes taking bleach heating it, adding potassium chloride (easy-to-buy salt substitute), cooling the solution, and filtering it. Heating the bleach causes the NaClO (sodium hypochlorite) to decompose into NaCl (table salt) and NaClO3 (sodium chlorate). Upon the addition of the KCl (potassium chloride), the NaClO3 and KCl undergo and double displacement reaction creating the KClO3. 3NaClO ---> 2NaCl + NaClO3 NaClO3 + KCl ---> KClO3 + NaCl The method was easy and successful for me, but if worst comes to worst, do a Google search and it will point you in the right direction.

What is potassium base soap?
A soap whose manufacture involves potassium hydroxide is what potassium-based soap is.Specifically, soap-making demands heating fats with a strong base. One such base is potassium hydroxide. The interaction produces potassium salt when the natural fat stearol converts to soap.
Where is oxygen obtained from?
"Oxygen is obtained for industrial use by the fractional distillation of liquid air, by the electrolysis of water, or by heating manganese oxide with potassium chlorate.
What is the name or formula the gas evolved in heating of potassium chlorate?
Oxygen
Oxygen and potassium chloride are prepared by heating potassium chlorate?
yes KClO3 + heat --> KCl + O2
Is Heating potassium chlorate a chemical or physical change?
Heating anything to a visible change is ALWAYS a chemical change

Which gas you get after heating potassium nitrate?
The nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is released.
What happens when heating potassium chlorate?
Potassium nitrate also known as salt petre is a chemical compound with the formula KNO3 which on heating to above 560 °C decomposes into potassium nitrite, and oxygen.given by the following chemical equation-2 KNO3 → 2 KNO2 + O2
What is the mass of KCl if 9.8g of KCls is heated?
On heating potassium chlorate decomposes on potassium chloride and oxygen. 2KClO3------>2KCl+3O2 9.8g of KClO3 are heated. Calculate a. the mass of KCl formed. b. the mass and volume, at (s.t.p) of O2 formed.
Is potassium metal used as a heating element?
No. Potassium metal is to reactive and expensive for everyday use.
