Q. In the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate given as $2KClO_{3} \rightarrow 2KCl + 3O_{2}$, law of mass action
A) Can be applied
B) Cannot be applied
C) Can be applied at low temperature
D) Can be applied at high temperature and pressure
Explanation
(b)
Thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate is irreversible. So, law of mass action cannot be applied on this reaction
