Consider the following unbalanced redox reaction: `H_(2)O+AX+BYrarrHA+OY+X_(2)B` The oxidation number of `X` is `-2` and niether `X` nor water is involved in the redox process. The positive oxidation states of `B` and `Y` in `BY` are respectively,A. `+1, -1`B. `+2,-2`C. `+3,-3`D. All of these |
Answer» Correct Answer - D In `BY`, the oxidation state of `B=lt+4` Oxidation state of `y=lt+2`. If the oxidation state of `B is +1` and that of `Y is -1` then both will be oxidised. If the oxidation state of `B is +2` and that of `Y is -2`, then both will be oxidised. If the oxidation state of `B is +3` and that of `Y is -3`, then both will be oxidised. |
