The fomula is NH4 (1+)
There are only two elements N and H.
As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.
N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.
You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.
In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.
Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.
That implies that 4* (1+) + x = 1+
=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-
Answer: the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.
Use the Heat formula for both problems.
q=m*c*∆t
Where
q= heat in Joules
m= mass in grams
c= specific heat which is a constant 4.18
∆t= change in temperature
True but in more depth they both have the some same qualities in function but provide for each other when one makes oxygen, H2O, and energy and cellular respiration makes CO2 and glucose
