1.	Which of the following statements are not true about the following decomposition reaction? 2KCl_(3(s)) rarr 2KCl_((s)) +3O_(2(g))uarr
Answer» Potassium is undergoing OXIDATION Chlorine is undergoing oxidation OXYGEN is REDUCED None of the SPECIES are undergoing oxidation or reduction Solution :`2Koverset(+5)(Cl)overset(-2)(O_3)rarr2overset(+1)(K)overset(-1)(Cl)+3overset(0)O_2` All the statements are incorrect because it is a REDOX reaction in which chlorine is under-going reduction while oxygen is undergoing oxidation.
