Answer:

The number of neutrons is entirely dependent on the Mass number of the particular atom. The standard mass for potassium is 39.

Potassium is element number 19, so it has 19 protons and 19 electrons in the neutral atom. It has therefore 39-19 = 20 Neutrons.

In the reaction 2H2O (1)+ 2Cl^- (aq)= H2(g)+Cl2 (g)+ 2OH^-(aq), which substance is reduced?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:- C. H

Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.

The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

In $H_2O$ , the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in $Cl^-$ is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in $H_2$ is zero and in $OH^-$ the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in $Cl_2$ is 0.
