Answer:
The oxidation state of N in the KNO3 is +5
Explanation:
Oxidation rules:
1. Oxygen is -2, unless in peroxides.
2. Group 1 metals = +1
3. Group 2 metals = +2
4. If the molecule is neutral, all of the oxidation numbers have to add up to zero.
5. If the molecule is charged, all of the oxidation numbers have to add up to the charge of the molecule.
So, the given formula represents the salt compound formula unit of potassium nitrate: KNO3
The formula unit is uncharged.
From our rules, we know that,
O = -2
And we can find K on the periodic table, in the first group, thus giving it a +1 charge. Now let's put it all together.
K = +1
N = x
O = -2
Let's take into account the number of atoms of each element we have and make an equation since we know everything has to add up to zero since the molecules are neutral.
+1 +x+3 (-2) = 0 (notice we multiplied 3 by -2 because in the formula we have 3 atoms of oxygen with -2 charge each)
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in KNO3 is +5.
Your answer is x= 1/2, this is because to get the x alone you need to move the 2 so you divide 2x by to and you have to do the same to the other side so 1/2, and you get x=1/2
An ionic bond. covalent bonds do not conduct in a solid or a liquid state, ionic bonds conduct in a liquid state and not in a solid state.
