Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of the reaction:
KClO₂ → KCl + O₂
To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:
- Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
- The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.
The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:
K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0
K-5 = 0
K = +5
The oxidation number of K in KCl:
K + (-1) = 0
K = +1
The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1
For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1
For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4
For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0
K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.
O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.
Oxidation occurs at the anode, so your answer is (2) loss of electrons

After looking at answers I agree with the statement Chemistry is fun.
Answer:
D. Exothermic.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the potential energy versus reaction progress diagrams are related to the energetic profile of a chemical reaction, we can set the initial point at the beginning of the reaction as the energy of the reactants and the final point as the energy of the products.
Next, since the change in the enthalpy of a reaction is quantified by subtracting products minus reactants, we can see that the products have less energy than the reactants and therefore ΔH for this reaction is negative, which matches with the definition of D. Exothermic reaction.

Its an inelastic collision because the force from the bat causes it to bounce back. It is also an elastic force because catching the ball call for the energy of the ball to be deformed and restored into the mitt.
