What is the individual oxidation state of the second carbon in C2H5OH |
|
Answer» Here 6 hydrogen atoms are present, so +1*6 = +6. O = -2\xa0Thus, +6-2 = +4\xa0Here 2 carbon atoms are present in the equation. To reach oxidation state 2C = -4\xa0C = -2.\xa0Hence,,, the oxidation number of C is -2 The oxidation number of the two carbons together should be -4 . and each carbon is 2. Please anyone post the solution of this question fast as today is my exam |
