What is the oxidation state of each individual carbon atom in c2o42−?
2 answers:
Answer:
+3
Explanation:
The oxygen all have a -2 oxidation state. (peroxides are exceptions)
The chemical structure is symmetrical. Both carbon are equivalent.
2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (oxidation state of oxygen) = charge of ion.
2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (-2) = -2
oxidation state of carbon = +3
Answer:
+3
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, by knowing that the molecule has the following oxidation states structure, one can solve for the carbon's oxidation state via the total ion's charge as shown below:
Therefore, the carbon's oxidation state is +3
