Chlorates decompose to form O2 and a chloride. Therefore, the balanced equation for the decomposition of Al(ClO3)3 would be as follows:

2 Al(ClO3)3 ----> 2 AlCl3 + 9 O2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer: The reaction is [tex]2Al(ClO_3)_3\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+9O_2[/tex]

Explanation: Decomposition reactions are the reactions in which a larger compound dissociates into two or more smaller compounds.

Decomposition reaction for [tex]Al(ClO_3)_3[/tex] follows:

[tex]Al(ClO_3)_3\rightarrow AlCl_3+\frac{9}{2}O_2[/tex]

The subscripts for the reaction is expressed only in whole numbers, so the subscript of oxygen has to be changed to a whole number by multiplying all the compounds by 2.

Now, the equation becomes:

[tex]2Al(ClO_3)_3\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+9O_2[/tex]
