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.
In a flashlight, the electrical energy becomes light energy and thermal energy in the bulb.

Step 2:
b) The overall balanced reaction for given process is ;
Explanation:
a)
Galena = 
Lead(II) oxide = 
Sulfur dioxide = 
Step 1:
Roasting the galena in oxygen gas to form lead(II) oxide and sulfur dioxide.
Balanced equation of step 1:
..[1]
Step 2:
Heating the metal oxide with more galena forms the molten metal and more sulfur dioxide.
Balanced equation of step 2:
..[2]
b)
For over all reaction add [1] and [2]. The overall balanced reaction for given process is ;
