Question

Oxidation state of c in caco3

Answer 1

$\large{\sf CaCO_3}$

We know that :-

Oxidation State of Ca = +2

Oxidation State of O = -2

To find :

Oxidation State of C = ?

Let ,

Oxidation State of C = x

$\implies{\sf 2+x(-2×3)=0 }$

$\implies{\sf 2+x-6=0}$

$\implies{\sf x=6-2}$

$\implies{\sf x=+4}$

$\large\underline{\underline{\sf Answer:}}$

•°• Oxidation State of Ca is +4
