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 compound with the formula KClO2 is called potassium chlorite.
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.
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.
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
It is neither. Potassium Chlorite is a white crystalline substance that is actually a salt.
The compound with the formula KClO2 is called potassium chlorite.
The formula for potassium chlorite is KClO2.
The chemical formula of potassium chlorate is KClO3.
The chemical formula for potassium chlorite is KClO2.
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 name of the compound with the formula KClO3 is "potassium chlorate".
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-
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
2KClO2 + O2 = 2KClO3
It is neither. Potassium Chlorite is a white crystalline substance that is actually a salt.
The name of the formula changed.
