Current Question (ID: 8587)

Question:
$\text{The oxidation number of oxygen in } \text{KO}_3 \text{ and } \text{Na}_2\text{O}_2 \text{ is respectively -}$
Options:
  • 1. $3, \text{ and } 2$
  • 2. $1, \text{ and } 0$
  • 3. $0, \text{ and } 1$
  • 4. $-0.33, \text{ and } -1$
Solution:
$\text{For } \text{KO}_3 \text{ (potassium superoxide):}$ $\text{K has oxidation state } +1$ $\text{Let oxygen oxidation state be } x$ $\text{For neutral compound: } (+1) + 3x = 0$ $3x = -1$ $x = -\frac{1}{3} = -0.33$ $\text{For } \text{Na}_2\text{O}_2 \text{ (sodium peroxide):}$ $\text{Na has oxidation state } +1$ $\text{Let oxygen oxidation state be } x$ $\text{For neutral compound: } 2(+1) + 2x = 0$ $2x = -2$ $x = -1$ $\text{Therefore, the oxidation numbers of oxygen in } \text{KO}_3 \text{ and } \text{Na}_2\text{O}_2 \text{ are } -0.33 \text{ and } -1 \text{ respectively.}$
