In barium chlorite, Ba(ClO2)2, the oxidation state of barium (Ba) is +2. Each chlorite ion (ClO2-) has a charge of -1. Within the chlorite ion, the oxidation state of oxygen is -2, so for two oxygen atoms, that totals -4. To balance this, the oxidation state of chlorine must be +3. Therefore, the oxidation state of Cl in Ba(ClO2)2 is +3.
In KCIO2, the overall charge of the compound is zero because potassium (K) has a +1 charge, oxygen (O) has a -2 charge, and the sum of the oxidation states must equal zero. Therefore, the oxidation state of chlorine (Cl) in KCIO2 is +5.
The oxidation state of Co in CoCl2 is +2. This is because Cl is more electronegative than Co, causing it to have a 1- charge each. Since there are two Cl atoms, the oxidation state of Co must be +2 to balance the charges.
The correct name for the compound HClO3 is chloric acid.
O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
S = +4 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
The oxidation state of Fe in FeCl3 is +3. Each Cl atom has an oxidation state of -1, and since there are three Cl atoms in FeCl3, the overall charge from the Cl atoms is -3. This makes the Fe atom's oxidation state +3 to balance the charges.
The oxidation state of chlorine in the ClO- ion is 1+
the most common oxidation state of chlorine is -1.
In MgCl2, the oxidation state of Cl is -1 because it is a halogen. Since there are two Cl atoms, the total oxidation state contribution from Cl is -2. This means that the oxidation state of Mg is +2 in order to balance out the charges and form a neutral compound.
The oxidation state of Cl in HClO3 is +5. This is because the sum of the oxidation states in a neutral molecule must be zero, and since H has an oxidation state of +1, O has an oxidation state of -2, the oxidation state of Cl must be +5 in order to balance the charges.
The oxidation state of Cl in HClO4 is +7. In HClO4, since the oxidation state of H is +1 and that of O is -2, the sum of the oxidation states in the compound must equal 0. Therefore, the oxidation state of Cl in this case is +7.
+5
The oxidation state of Cl in ClO2 is +3. This is determined by assigning oxygen an oxidation state of -2 and knowing that the overall charge of the compound is 0. Since there are two oxygen atoms with an oxidation state of -2 each, the oxidation state of Cl must be +3 to balance it out.
+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1. Therefore, the single chlorine atom must have an oxidation state of +5 for the total oxidation states to add to zero.+5. In oxyacids, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen an oxidation state of +1
The oxidation state of chloride (Cl) is -1. As a halogen, chloride is usually found with an oxidation state of -1 in most compounds.
In MnCl2, the oxidation number of Mn is +2, as it is in the +2 oxidation state. The oxidation number of Cl is -1 each, as it is typically in the -1 oxidation state when bonded to metals such as manganese.
The oxidation number of S in S2Cl2 is +1. Each Cl atom has an oxidation number of -1, and since the molecule is neutral, the overall oxidation numbers of S must balance out to zero. Thus, the oxidation number of S in this compound is +1.
