Remember the acronym "Oil Rig". Oxidation is loss, Reduction is gain of electrons. Calcium is losing electrons so it's an oxidation reaction.
The oxidation number of elements in equation below are,
4NH₃ + 3Ca(ClO)₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O + 3CaCl₂
O.N of N in NH₃ = -3
O.N of Ca in Ca(ClO)₂ and CaCl₂ = +2
O.N of N in N₂ = 0
O.N of Cl in Ca(ClO)₂ = +1
O.N of Cl in CaCl₂ = -1
Oxidation:
Oxidation number of Nitrogen is increasing from -3 (NH₃) to 0 (N₂).
Reduction:
Oxidation number of Cl is decreasing from +1 [Ca(ClO)₂] to -1 (CaCl₂).
Result:
<span>N is oxidized and Cl is reduced.</span>
<span><span>S is for soil,</span><span>cl (sometimes c) represents climate,</span><span>o organisms including humans,</span><span>r relief,</span><span>p parent material, or lithology, and</span><span>t time.</span></span>
Answer:
bleaching powder is actually a mixture of calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide and calcium hypochlorite. hence it is not a single salt. It is not completely soluble in water as it composed of heavy calcium salts, which are known to be insoluble in water.
The type of bond most likely formed in nitrous oxide would be a covalent bond..
