What is the oxidation number of cl in chlorate ion clo3?

The correct answer to this question is "5." the oxidation number of cl in ClO3 will be a positive 5 because oxygen is naturally a -2 charge. times that by three and then account for the negative charge of the CLO3- ion.

Answer is: the oxidation number of Cl (chlorine) in chlorate ion is +5.

Chlorate ion (ClO₃⁻) has negative charge.

One oxygen atom in this anion (negatively charged ion) has the oxidation number -2. There are three oxygen atoms in chlorate anion.

x + 3 · (-2) = -1.

x = -1 + 6.

x = +5; the oxidation number of chlorine.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
