Question

calculate oxidation state of c in c2h3oh​

Answer 1

Answer:

C2H3OH=0

C2. 1×3+(-2) +1=0

C2=-2

C=-1

Oxidation state of C in C2H3OH is -1.

Answer 2

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

Oxidation Number of H is +1

Oxidation Number of O is -2

Overall Charge is 0

Therefore,

0 = 2*C + 4*H + O

0 = 2*C + 4*1 + (-2)

C = -1
