The following reaction is used for the preparation of oxygen gas in the laboratory
$2KClO_3(s) \xrightarrow[heat]{catalyst} 2KCl(s) + 3O_2 (g) $
Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct about the reaction?
(a) It is a decomposition reaction and endothermic in nature.
(b) It is a combination reaction.
(c) It is a decomposition reaction and accompanied by the release of heat.
(d) It is a photochemical decomposition reaction and exothermic in nature.
Correct Answer: (a) It is a decomposition reaction and endothermic in nature.
Explanation: Potassium chlorate decomposes to give potassium chloride and oxygen. This is a decomposition reaction. As heat is absorbed during the process, hence it is endothermic in nature.
