Question

Part A

What is the oxidation state of an individual bromine atom in NaBrO3?

Express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1).

Part B

What is the oxidation state of an individual nitrogen atom in NH2OH?

Express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1).

Part C

What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in SO42?

Express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1).

Part D

What is the oxidation state of each individual carbon atom in C2O42?

Express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1).

Explanation / Answer

A) NaBrO3      X(Br) + 1(Na) -6(O(-2x3))=0         X(Br)=+5

B) NH2OH       X(N)+3(H(3x1))-2(O)=-1                  X(N)= -1

C) SO42     X(S) -8=-2     X=-2+8=6                  X(S)=+6

D)   C2O42    2X-8(O)=-2    X = +3                    X(C)=+3
