Chlorine forms oxides such as Cl₂O, ClO₂, Cl₂O₆ and Cl₂O₇. Chlorine and oxygen do not combine directly, so these oxides are prepared indirectly. Cl₂O is prepared by passing Cl₂ through freshly prepared yellow HgO. Cl₂O₆ disproportionates: Cl₂O₆ + 2KOH → KClO₃ + KClO₄ + H₂O. These oxides are acidic; Cl₂O₇ is the anhydride of perchloric acid.
Among Cl₂O, ClO₂, Cl₂O₆ and Cl₂O₇, find the sum of the average oxidation states of chlorine.
Answer:
18.00
Solution:
Oxidation states of chlorine are +1, +4, +6 and +7. Sum = 1 + 4 + 6 + 7 = 18.
