Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) in the compounds HCl, HOCl, HClO₄, and ClO₂, we will follow a systematic approach using the known oxidation states of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **For HCl:** - The oxidation number of hydrogen (H) is +1. - Let the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) be x. - The compound is neutral, so the sum of oxidation numbers must equal 0. ...
