Explanation / Answer

Que 1)

answer a) sodium

chlorine and iodine are zero. pure elements that arent bonded have a 0 redox number.
sodium is 2, the Iodine in NaI is -2, sodium in sodium chloride is 2 and chlorine is 2-
chlorine is reduced, and iodine is oxidized

Que 2)

answer a) Mg (s)

Magnesium changes to Mg2+ , Ti4+ changes to Ti. So, Mg is oxidized to Mg +2 and Ti4+ is reduced to Ti

Half-reactions:

Mg(l) <-> Mg2+(l) + 2 e-…..x4..(OX)
Ti+4(g) + 4 e-   <-> Ti(s)…..x2..(RED)

Que 3)

answer : b) +5

First, let's look at the K (potassium). In an ionic compound, the potassium's oxidation state is always +1.

Next, let's look at the chlorate , ClO3. The charge on the polyatomic ion is 1. You may be asking yourself, how do I know its charge will be 1?

Since the entire compound KClO3 has a charge of 0 and the K will have a charge of +1, the ClO3 must balance the K's +1 in the form of 1 for a nat charge of 0.

When oxygen is with another element that is less electronegative than it is, the charge on the oxygen is 2. There are 3 oxygen atoms in the chlorate ion, for a total of 6 charge on the total of the 3 oxygen atoms.

Thus, charge of Cl +(6)=1. That means that the charge on chlorine in potassium chlorate is +5.

another way to calculate

Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2
Since there are 3 oxygens in the reactant the oxidation number becomes -6
Potassium (K) has an oxidation number of +1
Add the oxidation numbers together:

KClO3

(+1) + (x) +(-2 * 3) = 0

x = (+6-1)

x = +5
There is no charge on this molecule so the oxidation numbers of all elements added together must be 0
So far the oxidation number is -5 so the only number that chlorine can be to make the molecule 0 is +5

So the oxidation number of chlorine in the reactant is +5
