What is the oxidation state of each element in the species Mn(ClO4)3? I'm going over oxi-redox reactions from a long time ago and I'm trying to remember properly.
Mn=3+
Cl=7+
and oxygen=2- right?
The following are the answers: =oxygen equals to a charge of 2- number of atoms is -24 =Mn equals to the charge of +3 Mn= 3+3x-24=0 let x be the charge of Cl, so: 23-3=3x 20/3=x =6.67 or 7 x=7 = Cl has a charge of +7
