Ag+ has gained 1 electron to from Ag
(b) oxidised
Cl- has lost 1 electron to form Cl2
(Changes in oxidation state)
1. Decrease in oxidation state number.
2. (a) -2
(b) +4
(c) +6
(d) 0
(e) +6
(f) +2
3. reduced
H in HCL has decreased in oxidation state number from +1 to 0 in H2. Therefore HCl is reduced.
(Gain or Loss of Oxygen/Hydrogen)
1. (a) gain in oxygen
(b) loss of hydrogen
2. (a) Na has gain oxygen atom to form Na2O
(b) Nh3 has lost hydrogen atoms to form N2
3. CO has been oxidized to CO2 when it gain oxygen atom.
Good luck for Common Test.
