For the reaction KClO2⟶KCl+O2 KClO2⟶KCl+O2 assign oxidation numbers to each element on each side of the equation. K in KClO2:K i
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula of the reaction:

            KClO₂ → KCl + O₂

To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:

  1. Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
  2. The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
  3. 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.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃

Explanation:

The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.

BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:

2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene

butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)

Co(g) effuses at a rate that is ______ times that of cl2(g) under the same conditions.
il63 [147K]

Answer is: the ratio of the effusion rate is 1.59 : 1.

1) rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 1/√M(CO).  

rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 1/√28.

rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 0.189.  

2) rate of effusion of chlorine = 1/√M(Cl₂).  

rate of effusion of chlorine = 1/√70.9.  

rate of effusion of chlorine = 0.119.  

rate of effusion of carbon monoxide : rate of effusion of chlorine =

= 0.189 : 0.119 / ÷0.119.

rate of effusion of carbon monoxide : rate of effusion of chlorine = 1.59 : 1.
