  • Decomposition of Potassium Hydrogen Carbonate: Reactants & Products
    The reaction you're describing is the decomposition of potassium hydrogen carbonate (KHCO₃). Here's the balanced chemical equation:

    2KHCO₃(s) → K₂CO₃(s) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g)

    Here's the breakdown:

    * Reactant: Potassium hydrogen carbonate (KHCO₃) - also known as potassium bicarbonate

    * Products:

    * Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃)

    * Water (H₂O)

    * Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

    Important Note: This reaction is usually carried out by heating the potassium hydrogen carbonate.
