Question

Oxidation state of C in C6H12O7

Answer 1

Answer:

C6H12O6

6x+12−12=0

C has oxidation number =0

Answer 2

Answer:

let the oxidation number of C is x

so oxidation number of C6=6x

oxidation number of H12=12×1=12

oxidation number of O7=7×(-2)= -14

then the oxidation number of C6H12O6=0

that means 6x+12-14=0

6x-2=0

6x=2

x=2/6=1/3
