A cation is smaller than its parent atom.
Therefore, here a sodium ion is smaller than the neutral sodium atom.
Reason: Since the sodium atom loses an electron to form an electropositive ion(cation), its nuclear charge increases(the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons) and the orbital electrons are pulled with a greater energy.
Thus,the sodium ion shrinks in size.

The oxidation state of the compound Mn (ClO4)3 is to be determined in this problem. For oxygen, the charge is 2-, the total considering its number of atoms is -24. Mn has a charge of +3. TO compute for Mn, we must achieve zero charge overall hence 3+3x-24=0 where x is the Cl charge. Cl charge, x is +7.
We are given the chemical reaction and the amount of reactant used for the process. We use these data together to obtain what is asked. We do as as follows:
0.882 mol H2O2 ( 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O2 ) = 0.441 mol O2 produced
Hope this answers the question.
