No, KClO2 will dissociate in water: KClO2 → K+ + ClO2-
The ClO2- ion will remove protons from the solution (ClO2- + H2O → HClO2 + OH-) and leave hydroxide ions, making the solution basic.
The compound with the formula KClO2 is called potassium chlorite.
I believe it should be a basic solution... When you have metals with a weak acid's anion, you receive basic solution in water.... HClO2, chlorous Acid, is a weak acid. The Potassium, K an alkali metal, is now where the H+ was, making it KClO2 and that acts as a base in water
Yes, KClO2 is an ionic compound. It consists of a potassium cation (K+) and a chlorite anion (ClO2-), which are held together by ionic bonds.
It is neither. Potassium Chlorite is a white crystalline substance that is actually a salt.
KClO - the chemical name is potassium hypochlorite, K - potassium, prefix of hypo for the single oxygen and chlorite for the ClO, the -ite suffix must be present with the hypo prefix. Hope this helps. Raymond Chang. Chemistry, 9th ed.; McGraw-Hill: New York, 2007 also states that the chemical name for KClO is potassium hypochlorite.
The formula for potassium chlorite is KClO2.
The compound with the formula KClO2 is called potassium chlorite.
The chemical formula of potassium chlorate is KClO3.
I believe it should be a basic solution... When you have metals with a weak acid's anion, you receive basic solution in water.... HClO2, chlorous Acid, is a weak acid. The Potassium, K an alkali metal, is now where the H+ was, making it KClO2 and that acts as a base in water
The chemical formula for potassium chlorite is KClO2.
Yes, KClO2 is an ionic compound. It consists of a potassium cation (K+) and a chlorite anion (ClO2-), which are held together by ionic bonds.
KClO2, contains the chlorite anion, ClO2-
2KClO2 + O2 = 2KClO3
It is neither. Potassium Chlorite is a white crystalline substance that is actually a salt.
KClO - the chemical name is potassium hypochlorite, K - potassium, prefix of hypo for the single oxygen and chlorite for the ClO, the -ite suffix must be present with the hypo prefix. Hope this helps. Raymond Chang. Chemistry, 9th ed.; McGraw-Hill: New York, 2007 also states that the chemical name for KClO is potassium hypochlorite.
This reaction is a decomposition reaction where a compound breaks down into simpler substances. In this case, potassium chlorite (KClO2) breaks down into potassium chloride (KCl) and oxygen gas (O2).
It is neutral. Water is neutral so it will remain neutral in all its forms.
