Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of the reaction:
KClO₂ → KCl + O₂
To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:
- Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
- The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
- 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.
Which part of the body system are you talking about
Hey there!
Molar mass N2 = 28.01 g/mol
Therefore:
28.01 g N2 -------------- 6.02*10²² molecules N2
( mass N2 ?? ) ----------- 25,000 molecules N2
mass N2 = ( 25,000 * 28.01 ) / ( 6.02*10²³ )
mass N2 = 700250 / 6.02*10²³
mass N2 = 1.163*10⁻¹⁸ g
Hope that helps!
Why do molecules combined into chains?
A rock is definitely more dense. If you were to put a cloud in water it would float/stay above it and a rock would sink to the bottom
