In NH4OH, the compounds that make it up are NH4+ and OH-
Therefore N exists in the ammonium form.
In the ammonium ion 4H atoms are connected to N. 
 N is more electronegative than H, therefore when H bonds to N, H is the more positive atom therefore each H has a charge of +1, since there are 4 H atoms the charge contributed by the 4H atoms are +1 * 4 = +4
the overall charge of NH4 is +1
Charge of N (+) +4 =  +1
Charge of N = +1 - 4
Therefore oxidation state of N in NH4 is  = -3

<h2>H_2O  + H_2 + O_2</h2>

Explanation:

1. Water decomposition

  • Decomposition reactions are represented by-

       The general equation: AB → A + B.

  • Various methods used in the decomposition of water are -
  1. Electrolysis
  2. Photoelectrochemical water splitting
  3. Thermal decomposition of water
  4. Photocatalytic water splitting
  • Water decomposition is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down giving oxygen and hydrogen.
  • The chemical equation will be -

        H_2O  + H_2 + O_2

Hence, balancing the equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of H_2O on right-hand-side of the equation and  2 in front of H_2 on left-hand-side of the equation.

     ∴The balanced equation is -

       2 H_2O → 2 H_2 + O_2

2. Formation of ammonia

  • The formation of ammonia is by reacting nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas.

      N_2 + H → NH_3

Hence, for balancing equation we need to add a coefficient of 3 in front of hydrogen and 2 in front of ammonia.

   ∴The balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia gas is as  follows -

     N_2+3H→ 2NH_3.

  • When 6 moles of N_2 react with 6 moles ofH_2 4 moles of ammonia are produced.

Three isotopes of silicon have mass numbers of 28,29, and 30 with an average atomic mass of 28.086 what does this say about the
Sedbober [7]

Answer is: silicon isotope with mass number 28 has highest relative abundance, this isotope is the most common of these three isotopes.

Ar₁(Si) = 28; the average atomic mass of isotope ²⁸Si.  

Ar₂(Si) =29; the average atomic mass of isotope ²⁹Si.  

Ar₃(Si) =30; the average atomic mass of isotope ³⁰Si.  

Silicon (Si) is composed of three stable isotopes, ₂₈Si (92.23%), ₂₉Si (4.67%) and ₃₀Si (3.10%).

ω₁(Si) = 92.23%; mass percentage of isotope ²⁸Si.  

ω₂(Si) = 4.67%; mass percentage of isotope ²⁹Si.

ω₃(Si) = 3.10%; mass percentage of isotope ³⁰Si.

Ar(Si) = 28.086 amu; average atomic mass of silicon.  

Ar(Si) = Ar₁(Si) · ω₁(B) + Ar₂(Si) · ω₂(Si)  + Ar₃(Si) · ω₃(Si).  

28,086 = 28 · 0.9223 + 29 · 0.0467 + 30 · 0.031.
