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.
Answer:
9.474 x 10^2
Explanation:
ok. first you have to get the value in the required unit so 9474mm/(10mm/cm) = 947.4 so scientific notation states that the number must be raised to any power of an integer and the value of the number being raised must be less than than 10 and more than or equal to 1
so it must have one digit in front so.. 947.4 becomes 9.474 and because you move 2 places to the left, ur power is positive 2
and proof 10^2 is 100 so multiply 9.474 by 100 and u will get 947.4 cm which is also 9474 mm
If it loses an electron, it will become an ion.
it is either "aweak acid or a lousy (or very weak) acid"
B. He would be considered an Organic Chemist since Organic Chemistry is the study of Carbon and its compounds.
