Ozonolysis of ClO2 produces an oxide of chlorine. The average oxidation state of chlorine in this oxide is __________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

2ClO2Chlorinedioxide+2O3⟶Cl2O6Chloralperchlorate+2O2

Oxidation state of Cl in Cl2O6 = 2x + 6( −- 2) = 0

2x −- 12 = 0

2x = 12 ⇒\Rightarrow x = + 6
