Use the oxidation states as indicated by the superscript numbers to answer the questions. k( 1)cl( 5)o3(-2) → k( 1)cl(-1) o2(0) which element is oxidized? which element is reduced? which element does not change in the oxidation state? how many electrons will be moved to have a balanced reaction?

Respuesta :

Oxygen gets oxidized and potassium and chlorine get reduced. The number of electrons moving to have a balanced reaction is 6.

What is an oxidation number?

The number of allocated elements in a chemical combination is termed an oxidation number. The oxidation number is generally the count of the number of electrons that a molecule or atom shares, loses, or gains during bond formation.

The given chemical equation will be

[tex]\rm 2K ^+ + 2Cl^+ + 2O_3^{2-} = 2KClO_3[/tex]

In this reaction, oxygen gets oxidized and potassium and chlorine get reduced.

The number of electrons moving to have a balanced reaction will be

Number of electron = 2 × 3 = 6
