Which of the following statement(s) is / are not true about the following decomposition reaction :2KCIO_(3)rarr2KCI+3O_(2) |
|
Answer» Solution :writing the O.N each element above its symbol we have `2KCIO_(3)rarr 2DCI+3O_(32)` (a) SINCE O.N of k does not change therefore K neither undergoes reduction nor oxidation thus OPTION (a) is not corret (b)since O.N of CI decreases form +5 in `KCIO_(3)` to -1in KCI therefore CI undergoes reductio i.e option (b) isnot correct (c ) O.N of O increses form -2 in `KIO_(3)` ot0 in `O_(2)` therefore O is oxidised i.e option (c ) not correct ltbRgt (d)This statement is not correct because CI undergoing reduction and O is undergoing oxidation Thus all option are incorrect |
