The Salt solution acts as an electrolyte, allowing iron to lose electrons more easily and speeds up the rusting process.
Answer: 2.78 moles of molecular oxygen will occupy 62.22 liters.
Explanation:
K will always have an oxidation state of +1. Now O is -2 except in peroxides, this is not a peroxide, so total charge will be -6, if you subtract the +1 of K from it, it leaves -5 charge to be neutralized by Cl in KClO3, so Cl will be +5. In the product side, K will still have the same oxdiation which is +1 and Cl would have -1. O2 will have zero. <span>Now, Cl is gaining the electrons to go from +5 to -1, so it is getting reduced while O2 is losing electrons to go from -2 to zero so it is getting oxidized.</span>
The bonds in salt compounds are called ionic because they both have an electrical charge—the chloride ion is negatively charged and the sodium ion is positively charged.
