Answer:

K in KClO2 = +1

Cl in KClO2 = +3

O in KClO2 = -2

K in KCl = +1

Cl in KCl = -1

O in O2 = 0

Chlorine is going from +3 to -1 so it is being reduced

Oxygen is going from -2 to 0 so it is being oxidized

Explanation:

Potassium is a constant +1

Chlorine could be -1, +1, +3, +5, or +7

Oxygen can be either -2 or +2

Every reactant has to equal zero if there is not a given charge.

Each element can only have certain charges, for example in the previous answer K = +5. Potassium can only be the charge of +1

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.

Calculate: (a) the weight (in lbf) of a 30.0 lbm object. (b) the mass in kg of an object that weighs 44N. (c) the weight in dyne
belka [17]

Answer:

a) 965,1 lbf

b) 4,5 kg

c) 1,33 * 10^6 dynes

Explanation:

Mass of an object refers to the amount of mattter it cotains, it can be expressed it gr, kg, lbm, ton, etc.

Weight of an object refers to a force, and is the measurement of the pull of gravitiy on an object. It may be definide as the mass times the acceleration of gravity.

                                        w=mg

In Planet Earth, the nominal "average" value for gravity is 9,8 m/s² (in the International  System) or 32,17 ft/s² (in the FPS system).

To solve this problem we'll use the following conversion factors:

1 lbf = 1 lbm*ft/s²

1 N = 1 kg*m/s²

1 dyne = 1 gr*cm/s²   and 1 N =10^5 dynes

1 ton = 907,18 kg

1 k = 1000 gr

a) m = 30 lbm

w = 30 lbm * 32,17 ft/s^{2} = 965, 1 \frac{lmb*ft}{s^{2} } = 965,1 lbf

b) w = 44 N

First, we clear m of the weight equation and then we replace our data.

m = \frac{w}{g} = \frac{44 N}{9,8 \frac{m}{{s}^{2}} } = 4,5 kg

c) m = 15 ton

m=15 ton * \frac{907,18 kg}{1 ton} = 13607,7 kg \\ w = mg = 13607,7 kg * 9,8 m/s2 = 133355,5 N * \frac{10^{5} dynes }{1 N} = 1,33 * 10^{6}dynes

Calculate the [OH-]<br> [H+]=0.000025
Harman [31]

Explanation:

There are several ways to define acids and bases, but pH and pOH refer to hydrogen ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration, respectively. The "p" in pH and pOH stands for "negative logarithm of" and is used to make it easier to work with extremely large or small values. pH and pOH are only meaningful when applied to aqueous (water-based) solutions. When water dissociates it yields a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide.
