Answer 1

Answer:

HEY MATE..

HERE'S UR ANSWER :

0(zero)

Explanation:

oxidation number of C in formaldehyde (CH2O) is the same as it is in sugars ({CH2O}n) i.e. 0 – 2x1 + 2 = 0; therefore, conversion of sugar to carbon dioxide is an oxidation involving the abstraction of 4 electrons per carbon.
