The oxidation number of I (iodine) decreases the in the described chemical reaction from 0 to -1.

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

I₂ + 2 KCl → KI + Cl₂

The following atoms have a change in the oxidation number:

I with a 0 oxidation number (in I₂) goes to I with -1 oxidation number (in KI) by receiving 1 electron.

Cl with a -1 oxidation number (in KCl) goes to I with 0 oxidation number (in Cl₂) by losing 1 electron.

A solution of an acid could have a pH of __*<br> 3 to 5<br> 6 to 8<br> 9 to 11<br> 12 to 14
sdas [7]

Answer:

3 to 5

Explanation:

The pH scale is from 0 to 14.

Acids have a pH of anything less than 7.

Anything with a pH greater than 7 is considered to be a base.

If a solution has a pH of 7, it is neutral.

3 to 5 is in the range of less than 7, so a solution of an acid can have this pH.

6 to 8 includes less than 7 , 7 and greater than 7, so it is not just in the range of an acid.

9 to 11 and 12 to 14 are both in the range of greater than 7, so they have to be bases.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3 to 5.
