Question

What is the oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(H2O)5NO]SO4​

Answer 1

Answer:Fe= +1

Explanation:

NO has +1 oxidation state,

let oxidation state of Fe be x,

since the overall charge, [Fe(H2O)5NO] is +2, the sum of oxidation states of all elements in it should be +2,

therefore, x+1=+2

                 x=+1

Hence the oxidation state of Fe is +1
