Question

what is the oxidation number of C2 in C2 h2o4
​

Answer 1

ANSWER:-

QUESTION⤵️

the oxidation number of each C in C2H2O4 is +3..

Answer ⤵️

Oxidation number is defined as the number folded by an atom by either gain or loss of electrons when it chemically combines with another atom.

as we know that oxidation number of hydrogen atom is plus 1 and oxygen is -2 therefore let us assume the oxidation number of given carbon atom is x.

hence calculate the value of x as follows;

2(x) +2(1)+4(-2)=0

{ as the charge on our all molecule is zero}

2x+2-8=0

2x=6

x=+3

therefore the oxidation number of each c in SI tour H2 S o4 is + 3.

hope it's help you....♡♡

Answer 2

answer:-

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the oxidation number of Carbon be "x".

• Using basic calculations.

• valency number of "O" = -2

• Valency of "H" = +1

So, using above data.

=> Two times of carbon= 2x

=> 2 times or atoms of H= 2x1

=> 4 times of atoms of 0= -2x4

adding them and as total power is =0

Equating :-

=> 2x+2-8=0

=> 2x= 6

=> x= 3

Oxidation number of C is 3.
