One mole of N 2 H 4 looses ten moles of electrons to form a new compound Y. Assuming that all the nitrogen appears in the new compound, what is the oxidation state of nitrogen in Y? (there is no change in the oxidation state of hydrogen)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Oxidation state of N in N 2 H 4
2X+4=0
X=-2
The two, nitrogen atoms will balance the charge of 10e -1 .
So, oxidation state of N will increase by +5, that is., from -2 to +3.
