The oxidation number of elements in equation below are,
4NH₃ + 3Ca(ClO)₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O + 3CaCl₂
O.N of N in NH₃ = -3
O.N of Ca in Ca(ClO)₂ and CaCl₂ = +2
O.N of N in N₂ = 0
O.N of Cl in Ca(ClO)₂ = +1
O.N of Cl in CaCl₂ = -1
Oxidation:
Oxidation number of Nitrogen is increasing from -3 (NH₃) to 0 (N₂).
Reduction:
Oxidation number of Cl is decreasing from +1 [Ca(ClO)₂] to -1 (CaCl₂).
Result:
<span>N is oxidized and Cl is reduced.</span>
What is the question that needs an answer?
Answer:
A. 4-ethyl-hex-3,5-dien-2-ol.
B. 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-<em>tert</em>-butylphenol.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given problems, it is possible to apply the IUPAC rules to obtain the following names:
A. 4-ethyl-hex-3,5-dien-2-ol because we have an ethyl radical at the fourth carbon and the beginning of the parent chain is on the Me (CH3) because it is closest to first OH.
B. 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-<em>tert</em>-butylphenol: because we start at the alcohol and have a chlorine atom on the second carbon, a methyl radical on the third carbon, a <em>tert</em>-butyl on the fifth carbon and the parent chain is benzene which is phenol as an alcohol.
Regards!
