The number of electrons involved in the reduction of nitrate ion to hydrazine is ........

Answer»


Solution :`NO_(3)^(-) rarr N_2H_4`
To BALANCE N atoms, multiple `NO_3^(-)` by 2,we have
`2overset(+5)(NO_3^(-))rarroverset(-2)(N_2H_4)`
`{:("Total O.N "= 2x×15 ,"Total O.N" = 2 xx -2),(=+10 ,=-4):}`
To balance O.N. ADD `14e^(-) " to " ` L.H.S
we have `2NO_(3)^(-)+ 14e^(-) rarr N_2H_4`
