Answer:

There is no charge

Explanation:

When you have an equal number of protons(+) and electrons(-), there is no charge because they cancel each other out.

7 pro (+) & 7 elec. (-), if there are more than each other like 8 pro and 7 elec., then it would have a charge of +1.

The definition of oxidation is loss of electrons. The definition is formation of additional bonds between carbon and oxygen (or

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Oxidation can be defined in many ways:

In terms of electron, Oxidation can be defined as loss of electrons by an atom or ion or a molecule during a reaction.

In terms of oxygen transfer, oxidation maybe defined as a substance that gains oxygen or loses hydrogen.

It can also be defined as a process in which a carbon atom gains bond to more electronegative atom such as oxygen.

Suppose you are provided with a 30.86 g sample of potassium chlorate to perform this experiment. What is the mass of oxygen you

oee [108]

Answer:

The mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of potassium chlorate is the following:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

We need to find the number of moles of KClO₃:

$\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{m}{M}$

Where:

m: is the mass = 30.86 g

M: is the molar mass = 122.55 g/mol

$\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{30.86 g}{122.55 g/mol} = 0.252 moles$

Now, we can find the number of moles of O₂ knowing that the ratio between KClO₃ and O₂ is 2:3

$\eta_{O_{2}} = \frac{3}{2}*0.252 moles = 0.378 moles$

Finally, the mass of O₂ is:

$m = 0.378 moles*32 g/mol = 12.10 g$

Therefore, the mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

I hope it helps you!
