Magnesium chlorate decomposes when heated to form magnesium chloride and oxygen gas. The balanced equation is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magnesium chlorate contains the chloride ion (Cl\u207b) and the chlorate ion (ClO\u2083\u207b). When it is heated, the chlorate ion breaks down into chloride ions and oxygen gas. The magnesium remains as a cation, combining with the chloride ions to form magnesium chloride (MgCl\u2082). Oxygen gas (O\u2082) is released as a byproduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nickel (II) chlorate decomposes similarly to magnesium chlorate, breaking down into nickel chloride and oxygen gas. The balanced equation is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nickel (II) chlorate consists of nickel ions (Ni\u00b2\u207a) and chlorate ions (ClO\u2083\u207b). Upon heating, the chlorate ions break down into chloride ions (Cl\u207b) and oxygen gas. The nickel ions combine with chloride ions to form nickel chloride (NiCl\u2082). Oxygen gas (O\u2082) is released as the chlorate decomposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sodium chlorate undergoes a similar decomposition when heated. It breaks down to form sodium chloride and oxygen gas. The balanced equation is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sodium chlorate contains sodium ions (Na\u207a) and chlorate ions (ClO\u2083\u207b). When heated, the chlorate ions decompose into chloride ions and oxygen gas. The sodium ions combine with chloride ions to form sodium chloride (NaCl). Oxygen gas (O\u2082) is released as a byproduct of the decomposition of the chlorate ion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
