Answer:
A. Sublimation of camphor
Answer:
ion
However atoms may gain or lose electrons in ordinary chemical reactions. If an atom has the same number of electrons as protons, it is a neutral atom. If it has a net charge, (more or less electrons than protons) it is an ion. If it has more electrons than protons it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion.
Explanation:
Answer:
NO3-
Explanation:
Given the reaction equation;
Au(s) + 3NO3-(aq) + 6H+(aq)→Au3+(aq) + 3NO2(g) + 3H2O (l).
We can consider the oxidation states of species on the left and right hand sides of the reaction equation;
Au is in zero oxidation state on the left hand side and an oxidation state of +3 on the righthand side.
NO3- is in oxidation state of +5 on the righthand side and NO2 is in + 4 oxidation state.
H+ is in + 1 oxidation state on both the left and right hand sides of the reaction equation.
Since reduction has to do with a decrease in oxidation number, it follows that NO3- was reduced in the reaction.
