Oxidation states number (OSN) show how many electrons gained, lost or shared during chemical reactions.
Here are some rules of oxidation state numbers.
1. OSN of 1A elements in compounds is +1
2. OSN of Oxygen in compounds is -2
3. Sum of OSN of elements equals zero in neutral compounds.
4. OSN of free elements is zero. ex. F2, N2, O2.. all have 0 OSN.
If an element loses electrons during reaction, it is oxidized. That element is called as reducing agent.
If an element gains electrons during reaction, it is reduced. That element is called as oxidizing agent.
In the given reaction, potassium perchlorate decompose into potassium chlorate and oxygen.
a) KClO4.
K (potassium) is 1A element, OSN +1,
Oxygen in the compound has OSN -2.
Let OSN of Cl be x
1+ x+(4*-2)=0 (since compound is neutral)
Solve the equation. X is equal to +7.
b)Potassium perchlorate is the reactant, Potassium chloride and Oxygen are the products.
Reactants -----> Products
c) Check out change of OSN of elements.
in KCl, OSN number of K is +1, Cl is -1. So Cl+7---->Cl-1. It takes 8 electrons. It was reduced.
in KClO4, OSN number of O is -2, in O2 it becomes O. So O-2---->O. It gives electrons. It was oxidized.
Shortly,
LOSS OF ELECTRONS=OXIDIZED
GAIN OF ELECTRONS=REDUCED

Endothermic reactions are reactions that require heat in the course of the process. The heat of reaction in this case is positive which means the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. In this case, the answer to this problem would have to be <span>1. must be greater than the required ΔH </span>
1.Some earthquakes are associated with volcanoes. A lot of earthquakes are alongside the rims of tectonic plates. This is in which some volcanoes are too.
2. Earth changes in its personal ways. Some changes are because of gradual processes, consisting of erosion and weathering, and a few changes are because of fast processes, consisting of landslides, volcanic eruptions, Tsunamis and earthquakes. Waves, wind, water, and ice form and reshape the Earth's land surface through eroding rock in a few regions and depositing them in different regions, now and again in seasonal layers. Tectonic plates drift, the crust quakes, and volcanoes erupt. All of these effective forces form our air, land, water, and climate and are constantly reworking our planet.
