Answer 2

Answer:

1 mol of KClO3 takes 4 moles of electrons the expected product will be OCl-

Explanation:

First we find out oxidation number of Chloride ion (Cl-) in KClO3

oxidation number K is +1

oxidation number of one O atom is -2

Let oxidation number of Cl- is x

so ,

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

+1+x-6=0

x=+5

Then the oxidation number of Cl is +5

As in KClO3, Cl is in +5 oxidation stale, if it accepts ye then the product should ce in +1 oxidation state..

KClO3 + 4e → KClO

+1+x-2=0

x=+1

As in OCl-, Cl is in +1 oxidation state so the product will be kClO and the anion will be OCl-
