Give the oxidation number of carbon in the following:

(a)CF2Cl2(b)Na2C2O4(c)HCO3-(d)C2H6

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer: You need to provide the oxidation no of carbon for the given compounds .


Step by step solution

01

Oxidation state of carbon in CF2Cl2 

Oxidation state of Fluorine is -1.

Oxidation state of Chlorine is -1.

Let, oxidation state of carbon in CF2Cl2is x.

No you can write,

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

Hence, oxidation state of carbon in CF2Cl2 is +4.

02

Oxidation state of carbon in Na2C2O4 

Oxidation state of Sodium is +1.

Oxidation state of Oxygen is -2.

Let, oxidation state of carbon in Na2C2O4is y.

No you can write,

2+1+2y+2-2=02y=+6y=+3

Hence, oxidation state of carbon in Na2C2O4is +3.

03

Oxidation state of carbon in HCO3- 

Oxidation state of Hydrogen is +1.

Oxidation state of Oxygen is -2.

Let, oxidation state of carbon in HCO3-is z.

No you can write,

+1+z+3-2=-1z=+4

Hence, oxidation state of carbon in HCO3- is +4.

04

Oxidation state of carbon in C2H6 

Oxidation state of Hydrogen is +1.

Let, oxidation state of carbon in C2H6is k.

No you can write,

2k+6+1=02k=-6k=-3

Hence, oxidation state of carbon in C2H6 is -3.
