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.

What is the sea of instability
LiRa [457]
The "sea of instability" refers to a region of elements on the periodic table that are highly unstable. These elements have extremely short half-lives that may be measured in micro- or nanoseconds. (A nanosecond is the time it takes for light to travel one foot.) This region of unstable elements surrounds the island of stability.

What mass of Na2SO4is needed to make 2.5 L of 2.0 Msolution? (Na = 23 g; S = 32 g; O = 16 g)
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

mass (g) needed = 710.2 grams Na₂SO₄(s)

Explanation:

Needed is 2.5 Liters of 2.0M Na₂SO₄; formula wt Na₂SO₄ = 142.04g/mol.

mass (grams) of Na₂SO₄(s) = Molarity needed x Volume needed in Liters x Formula Wt of solute

mass (grams) of Na₂SO₄(s) = (2.5L)(2.0M)(142.04g/mol) = 710.2 grams Na₂SO₄(s)

Mixing: Transfer 710.4 grams Na₂SO₄ into mixing vessel and add water-solvent up to but not to exceed 2.5 Liters total volume. Mix until dissolved.

Gives 2.5 Liters of 2.0M Na₂SO₄(aq) solution.

The text of oxygen gas in the laboratory ​
IgorC [24]

Explanation:in testing for oxygen a glowing splint is used.

the glowing splint is brought in the presence of the test tube containing the gas

the glowing splint rekindles or lights up showing that oxygen is present.

this is a positive test because oxygen supports burning or combustion

oth hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) have strong, unpleasant odors. Which gas has the higher effusion rate? If you opene
Ksju [112]

Answer: Odor of ammonia would we detect first on the other side of the room.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

\frac{Rate_{H_2S}}{Rate_{NH_3}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{NH_3}}{M_{H_2S}}}

\frac{Rate_{H_2S}}{Rate_{NH_3}}=\sqrt{\frac{17.031}{34.1}}

\frac{Rate_{H_2S}}{Rate_{NH_3}}=0.71

Thus the odor of ammonia would we detect first on the other side of the room as the rate of effusion of ammonia would be faster as it has low molecular weight as compared to hydrogen sulphide.
