For the reactants,
- The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
- The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
- The oxidation number of arsenic = +5
- The oxidation number of carbon = +3
For the products,
- The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
- The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
- The oxidation number of arsenic = +3
- The oxidation number of carbon = +4
Here, arsenic (+5 to +3) and carbon (+3 to +4) are the only oxidation numbers changing.
Note that an increase in oxidation number means electrons are lost. Thus oxidation is occurring, and a decrease in oxidation number means electrons are being gained, and thus reduction is occurring.
Also, the compound that contains the element being oxidized is the reducing agent, and the compound that contains the element being reduced is the oxidizing agent.
So, the answers are:
name of the element oxidized: Carbon
name of the element reduced: Arsenic
formula of the oxidizing agent:
formula of the reducing agent:
1 mole of N2 produces 2 moles of NH3
OR...
14 x 2 grams of N2 produces 2(14 +3) grams of NH3
1 gram of N2 produces 34/28 grams of NH3
therefore, 56 grams produce (34/28 )x 56 =68 grams of NH3
the answer thus would be 68 grams of NH3
