Answer:
H₂O₂: H (+1); O (-1)
Cl₂O₇: Cl (+7); O (-2)
OH⁻: O (-2); H (+1)
ClO₂⁻: Cl (+3); O (-2)
H₂O: H (+1); O (-2)
O₂: O (0)
Explanation:
The oxidation number (o.n.) is the number of electrons an atom tends to gain or lose to form a chemical bond and gain stability.
- In H₂O₂, H has the o. n. +1 (its most common o. n.) and O has the o.n. -1 in the peroxide ion O₂²⁻.
- In Cl₂O₇, Cl has the o.n. +7 (its highest o.n.) and O has the o.n. -2 (its most common o.n.)
- In OH⁻, O has the o.n -2 and H has the o.n. +1.
- In ClO₂⁻, Cl has the o.n. +3, and O has the o.n. -2. Cl has undergone a reduction.
- In H₂O, O has the o.n -2 and H has the o.n. +1.
- By definition, in O₂, O has the o.n. 0. It has undergone oxidation.
The oxidation numbers of the given elements are:
Reactants= H2(+1), O2(-2), Cl(+7), O7(-2), O(-2), H(+1)
Products = Cl(+3), O2(-2), H2(+1), O(-2 ), O2(0)
Calculation of oxidation numbers
Oxidation numbers of an element are those total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.
To calculate the oxidation numbers of reactants;
H2O2= (+1)×2+(X) =0
= 2 + X = 0
X= -2
Cl2O7 = (X)×2 + (-2)7 = 0
= 2x +(-14) = 0
= 2x - 14 = 0
2x= 14
X = 14/2
X= +7
OH- = x + 1 = -1
X= -1-1
X= -2
To calculate the oxidation numbers of products;
ClO2– = X+(-2)×2= -1
= X - 4 = -1
X = 4-1
X = +3
H2O = +1, -2
O2 = 0
