Answer:
Solution To Question ID 423687
Answer
The oxidation number of N increases from −2 to +2. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from +5 to −1. Hence, hydrazine is the reducing agent and chlorate ion is the oxidizing agent.
Ion-electron method:
The oxidation half reaction is
N
2
H
4
(l)→NO(g)
Balance the N atoms.

Multiply the oxidation half reaction by 3 and multiply the reduction half reaction by 2. Add two half reactions obtain the
balanced chemical equation.
