Question

Given the unbalanced equation, for the species that is the oxidizing agent, enter the symbol and the initial oxidation state of the specific element that will undergo reduction.

Enter sign followed by Arabic numeral for oxidation state magnitude. Use 0 if the oxidation state is zero.

Example:

Element: S

Oxidation state: -2

Co(s) + HNO3(aq) ? Co(NO3)2(aq) + NO(g) + H2O(l)
