To find the oxidation number for an element in a compound, you need to follow some rules and guidelines. Here's a step-by-step approach to solving these questions:
1. Review the rules for assigning oxidation numbers:
- The oxidation number of an element in its elemental form is always zero (e.g., N2, P4, O2, etc.).
- The oxidation number of a monatomic ion is equal to its charge (e.g., Na+ has an oxidation number of +1, Cl- has an oxidation number of -1).
- The sum of oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is zero.
- The sum of oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
2. Apply the rules to solve each part of the question:
a) NH3:
- Hydrogen (H) usually has an oxidation number of +1.
- Let the oxidation number of nitrogen (N) be x.
- Since NH3 is a neutral compound, the sum of oxidation numbers must be zero.
- 1x + 3(+1) = 0
- x + 3 = 0
- x = -3
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in NH3 is -3.
Repeat the process for the rest of the species:
b) N2O:
- Since it's a neutral compound, the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero.
- Let the oxidation number of nitrogen be x.
- 2x + 1(-2) = 0
- 2x - 2 = 0
- 2x = 2
- x = +1
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in N2O is +1.
c) NO:
- Similar to N2O, the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero.
- Let the oxidation number of nitrogen be x.
- 1x + 1(-2) = 0
- x - 2 = 0
- x = +2
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in NO is +2.
d) NO2-:
- The overall charge of the ion is -1.
- Let the oxidation number of nitrogen be x.
- 1x + 2(-2) = -1
- x - 4 = -1
- x = +3
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in NO2- is +3.
e) NO3-:
- The overall charge of the ion is -1.
- Let the oxidation number of nitrogen be x.
- 1x + 3(-2) = -1
- x - 6 = -1
- x = +5
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in NO3- is +5.
f) HNO3:
- The sum of the oxidation numbers is zero.
- Let the oxidation number of nitrogen be x.
- 1x + 1(+1) + 3(-2) = 0
- x + 1 - 6 = 0
- x - 5 = 0
- x = +5
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in HNO3 is +5.
