Question

potassium and chlorine react to form potassium chloride. a.it is a redox reaction,explain why. b.see if u can write a balanced equation for it.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) It is a redox reaction because KCl is an ionic compounds with K having a + charge and Cl having a - charge. Originally, both have an oxidation state of 0 and not K has 1+ and Cl has 1-. Therefore, one species was oxidized and one was reduced which is indicative of a redox reactions.

b)

2K + Cl2 => 2KCl

Answer 2

K+ClKCl

Step-by-step explanation:

because the reaction is between metal Potassium and Non-metal Chlorine
