When Potassium chlorate is heated strongly it decomposes to give oxygen. But if a catalyst like manganese dioxide is mixed with it, oxygen is liberated at much lower temperature, in much shorter time. Potassium chlorate and manganese..

Laboratory Preparation of Oxygen - Any of the above mentioned methods could be used to prepare oxygen in the laboratory. Mercuric and silver oxides are not used for the preparation of oxygen, as they are very expensive...

Summary - Oxygen and sulphur belong to group VI A. Oxygen shows a valency of -2, while sulphur shows a valency of -2, +4 and +6. Industrially oxygen is manufactured by fractional distillation of liquid air free of dust particles and CO 2 ...

Certain salts like potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ) potassium chlorate (KClO 3 ) and potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) contain a large amount of oxygen. Oxygen-rich, oxy-salts on strong heating decompose to give oxygen..

If in a compound, oxygen is less than the oxygen present in a compound ending with ite then, it is given the prefix hypo- in the beginning and if oxygen present in a compound ending with ate is more then it is given the prefix per- in the beginning. Example: KClO..

A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of chemical reaction without itself undergoing any change. Examples: Hydrogenation of oils to form fats takes place faster, in presence of nickel. Decomposition of potassium chlorate (KClO 3 ) is greatly accelerated in..

Usually air is associated with burning, and without air or oxygen, substances do not burn. But air not essentially used for all types of burning. For example, when charcoal powder is mixed with any of the substances like chlorates or nitrates of potassium or pota..
