1. Apart from burning  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur for energy there are other everyday situations involving  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur.
2. These reactions release lots of heat  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur and are described as  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur reactions.
3. For example the composition of a match head mixture is shown in the table below.

component	symbol/formula
potassium chlorate	KClO3
sulfur	S
carbon	C

The  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur supplys the oxygen to burn the  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur to carbon dioxide and the sulfur to  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur.
4. Balance the symbol equations
 2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur + O₂ ==> C 2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur _{2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur}
S +  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur₂ ==>  2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfurO _{2CcarbonchloratecombustiondioxideenergyexothermicfuelsOpotassiumSsulfur}
