chlorite ion
ClO2
ClO2^- is chlorite anion Do not confuse with ClO3^- is chlorate anion Cl^- is chloride anion.
The chemical name for ClO2 is chlorine dioxide.
Calcium Chlorite (used in domestic swimming pools)
The order of a reaction with respect to ClO2 is determined by the exponent of ClO2 in the rate law expression. If the rate law is of the form rate = k[ClO2]^n, then the order with respect to ClO2 is n. This value can be determined experimentally by measuring how changes in the concentration of ClO2 affect the reaction rate. If the concentration of ClO2 does not appear in the rate law, then the order with respect to ClO2 is zero.
ClO2 → Cl + O2
Chlorine Dioxide
It is Calcium chlorite Ca(ClO2)2
The symbol for the chlorite ion is ClO2-.
The compound Mo(ClO2)3 is named molybdenum(III) chlorite. In this formula, molybdenum has a +3 oxidation state, and each chlorite ion (ClO2-) has a -1 charge, resulting in three chlorite ions balancing the charge of one molybdenum ion.
The conjugate acid of ClO2 is HClO2. This is formed by adding a proton (H+) to the ClO2 molecule, resulting in the formation of the acid.
I'm not sure what "balanced" specifically means but I'll do my best to help. Calcium (Ca) has a charge of 2- and Chlorite (ClO2) has a charge of 1- When you name chemicals you combine them with their charges: Ca2- (ClO2)1- And then you cross the charges to the other element: Ca(ClO2)2 Make sense?
