JOSSAN84 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I`ve got a small problem that I hope someone could help me with. Is this a redox reaction? KCl03(s) ---> KCl(s) +O2(g) If it is a redoxreaction, what is oxidated and what is reducated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yes, it is a redox reaction. Chlorine goes from oxidation state +5 to oxidation state -1. Oxygen goes from oxidation state -2 to oxidation state 0. KClO3 in fact oxidizes and reduces itself at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
