Answer to Problem 10.120AP

Chlorine in HOCl has higher oxidation number.

Explanation of Solution

The given pair is hypochlorous acid and Cl. The molecular formula hypochlorous acid is HOCl.

The oxidation number of Cl is 1.

Calculate the oxidation number of Cl in HOCl.

The oxidation number of Cl in HOCl is assumed to be x. The oxidation number of H is +1. The oxidation number of O is 2. The oxidation number of Cl in HOCl is calculated as,

1×(+1)+1×(2)+1×x=012+x=01+x=0x=+1

Thus, chlorine in HOCl has higher oxidation number.

Answer to Problem 10.120AP

Chlorine in HClO3 has the higher oxidation number.

Explanation of Solution

The given pair is chlorous acid and HClO3. The molecular formula chlorous acid is HClO2.

Calculate the oxidation number of Cl in HClO2.

The oxidation number of Cl in HClO2 is assumed to be x. The oxidation number of H is +1. The oxidation number of O is 2. The oxidation number of Cl in HClO2 is calculated as,

1×(+1)+1×x+2×(2)=01+x4=0x3=0x=+3

Calculate the oxidation number of Cl in HClO3.

The oxidation number of Cl in HClO3 is assumed to be x. The oxidation number of H is +1. The oxidation number of O is 2. The oxidation number of Cl in HClO3 is calculated as,

1×(+1)+1×x+3×(2)=01+x6=0x5=0x=+5

Thus, the chlorine in HClO3 has the higher oxidation number.

Answer to Problem 10.120AP

Chlorine in HClO3 has the higher oxidation number.

Explanation of Solution

The given pair is chloric acid and BrO2. The molecular formula chloric acid is HClO3.

Calculate the oxidation number of Cl in HClO3.

The oxidation number of Cl in HClO3 is assumed to be x. The oxidation number of H is +1. The oxidation number of O is 2. The oxidation number of Cl in HClO3 is calculated as,

1×(+1)+1×x+3×(2)=01+x6=0x5=0x=+5

Calculate the oxidation number of Br in BrO2.

The oxidation number of Br in BrO2 is assumed to be x. The oxidation number of O is 2. The oxidation number of Br in BrO2 is calculated as,

1×x+2×(2)=1x4=1x4=1x=+3

Thus, chlorine in HClO3 has the higher oxidation number.

Answer to Problem 10.120AP

Chlorine in HClO4 has the higher oxidation number.

Explanation of Solution

The given pair is perchloric acid and IO. The molecular formula perchloric acid is HClO4.

Calculate the oxidation number of Cl in HClO4.

The oxidation number of Cl in HClO4 is assumed to be x. The oxidation number of H is +1. The oxidation number of O is 2. The oxidation number of Cl in HClO4 is calculated as,

1×(+1)+1×x+4×(2)=01+x8=0x7=0x=+7

Calculate the oxidation number of I in IO.

The oxidation number of I in IO is assumed to be x. The oxidation number of O is 2. The oxidation number of I in IO is calculated as,

1×x+1×(2)=1x2=1x2=1x=+1

Thus, chlorine in HClO4 has the higher oxidation number.

Conclusion
  1. a. Chlorine in HOCl has higher oxidation number.
  2. b. Chlorine in HClO3 has the higher oxidation number.
  3. c. Chlorine in HClO3 has the higher oxidation number.
  4. d. Chlorine in HClO4 has the higher oxidation number.
