Question

What is the oxidation number of carbon in c12h22o11?

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidation number of carbon in $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ is zero.

Solution/Explanation:

To calculate the oxidation number of carbon in $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$, let it be x

Also, we know that  

The oxidation number of Hydrogen is +1 and

Oxidation number of Oxygen is -2.

Hence, according to the number of H and O atoms present in the compound, the calculation is done as:->

12*x + 22*1 + (-2)*11 = 0

12x + 22 -22 = 0

12x = 0

x = 0

Answer 2

Answer:

Oxidation Number of Carbon is 0.
