Explain intermolecular redox reaction with an example.
(N/A) An intermolecular redox reaction is a type of reaction where one element in a compound undergoes oxidation while another element in a different compound (or the same compound) undergoes reduction.
Example: $2 KClO_{3} \rightarrow 2 KCl + 3 O_{2}$
In this reaction:
$1$. The oxidation state of $Cl$ changes from $+5$ in $KClO_{3}$ to $-1$ in $KCl$ (Reduction).
$2$. The oxidation state of $O$ changes from $-2$ in $KClO_{3}$ to $0$ in $O_{2}$ (Oxidation).
Example: $2 KClO_{3} \rightarrow 2 KCl + 3 O_{2}$
In this reaction:
$1$. The oxidation state of $Cl$ changes from $+5$ in $KClO_{3}$ to $-1$ in $KCl$ (Reduction).
$2$. The oxidation state of $O$ changes from $-2$ in $KClO_{3}$ to $0$ in $O_{2}$ (Oxidation).
