Product of HCIO3 and KOH

Produced is KClO₃ and H₂O

Explanation:

It cannot be a) because evidently there is a reaction that takes place. Option a) is just restating the reactants. It cannot be b) because it is not accounting for all of the oxygens. It's just stating that there is simply one oxygen on the reactants side. It also cannot be d) because gives us one more oxygen then there should be. There are 4 oxygens total on the reactants side. Thus, to have a balanced equation, there should also be 4 oxygens on the products side.

Therefore, the reaction that takes place is:

HClO₃ + KOH ⇒ KClO₃ + H₂O.

The correct answer is c, produced are KClO₃ and H₂O which is now a fully balanced equation.

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
