Answer:
[tex]2KCuCl_3 +4H_2O[/tex] -----> [tex]K_2CuCl_4.2H_2O +CuCl_2.2H_2O[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that:
KCuCl3 is readily hydrolysed in moist air,
forming a mixture of cupric chloride dihydrate and K2CuCl4+ 2H2O.
Then we have:
H₂O
[tex]KCuCl_3[/tex] ------------> [tex]K_2CuCl_4.2H_2O[/tex]
Air
In order to balance this equation, we make sure that we have the same name of atoms on both sides. so this is achieved addition of [tex]4H_2O[/tex] to the left side and [tex]CuCl_2.2H_2O[/tex] to the right side.
The balanced equation now is:
[tex]2KCuCl_3 +4H_2O[/tex] -----> [tex]K_2CuCl_4.2H_2O +CuCl_2.2H_2O[/tex]
