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.

4-hydroxypentanal reacts with one equivalent of methanol to form a cyclic acetal.
quester [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation is given as:

CH3CHOHC2H4CHO + CH3OH --> CYCLIC ACETAL + H2O

This above equation is carried out in the presence of a strong acid. There are five mechanisms employed and they are:

Step 1:

Initial formation of the hemiacetal which takes several steps

Step 2:

Addition of a proton. The hemicetal is protonated on the hydroxyl group (-OH group)

Step 3:

As seen a bond is broken to give the H2O molecule and a resonance stabilized cation.

The carbonyl group on the cation is enriched with the oxygen-18 got from the H2O molecule as seen in the mechanism.

Step 4:

An attraction occurs between electrophile and nucleophile i.e the stabilised cation and the lone paids of the methanol.

Step 5:

Finally, a proton (+) is removed from the molecule by a lone pair of electron on the methanol.

Attached are the Steps 1 - 5 mechanism below

Answer:

Cells are extremely small.

Explanation:

As Mendel describes in this story, cells are so small they cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. ... The total organism remains the same throughout this process, and (usually) has a longer time on earth than any one of its cells.
