In the given reaction, what does 'x', 'y', and 'z' represent?
In the given reaction, what does 'x', 'y', and 'z' represent?
- x = number of moles of KClO3; y = reaction condition; z = number of molecules of oxygen (correct)
- x = solid; y = liquid; z = gas
- x = gas; y = reaction condition; z = gas
- x = physical state of KClO3 and KCl; y = reaction condition, z = physical state of O2

Study Notes
Understanding Chemical Reactions
- In a chemical reaction, 'x', 'y', and 'z' represent the stoichiometric coefficients, which are used to balance the equation and indicate the relative amounts of reactants and products.
Analyzing the Action of Steam on Iron
- The assertion states that steam reacts with iron to form iron oxide and hydrogen gas.
- The accuracy of this assertion is true, as steam can react with iron at high temperatures, resulting in the formation of iron oxide (rust) and hydrogen gas.
Balancing Chemical Equations
- When balancing a chemical equation, the law of conservation of mass must be followed, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- This means that the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both the reactant and product sides of the equation.
