**Oxidation States of Elements in Compounds**In this section, we will determine the oxidation state of each individual element in the given compounds. Fractional oxidation states are acceptable.**d. Na₂C₂O₄ (Sodium Oxalate)**1. Sodium (Na): - Sodium is an alkali metal and typically has an oxidation state of +1. - Since there are two sodium atoms, the total oxidation state from sodium is +2.2. Carbon (C): - Let the oxidation state of carbon be $ x $.3. Oxygen (O): - Oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2. - Since there are four oxygen atoms, the total oxidation state from oxygen is -8.The sum of oxidation states in Na₂C₂O₄ should equal zero (assuming the compound is neutral).\[ 2(+1) + 2(x) + 4(-2) = 0 \]\[ 2 + 2x - 8 = 0 \]\[ 2x - 6 = 0 \]\[ 2x = 6 \]\[ x = +3 \]Thus, the oxidation state of carbon (C) in Na₂C₂O₄ is +3.**f. H₂CO (Formaldehyde)**1. Hydrogen (H): - Hydrogen typically has an oxidation state of +1. - Since there are two hydrogen atoms, the total oxidation state from hydrogen is +2.2. Carbon (C): - Let the oxidation state of carbon be $ x $.3. Oxygen (O): - Oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2.The sum of oxidation states in H₂CO should equal zero (assuming the compound is neutral).\[ 2(+1) + x + (-2) = 0 \]\[ 2 + x - 2 = 0 \]\[ x = 0 \]Thus, the oxidation state of carbon (C) in H₂CO is 0.**h. SO₃ (Sulfur Trioxide)**1. Sulfur (S): - Let the oxidation state of sulfur be $ x $.2. Oxygen (O): - Oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2. - Since there are three oxygen atoms, the total oxidation state from oxygen is -6.The sum of oxidation states in

Lead forms compounds in the +2 and +4 oxidation states. All lead(II) halides are known (and are known to be ionic). Only PbF4 and PbCl4 are known among the possible lead(IV) halides. Presumably lead(IV) oxidizes bromide and iodide ions, producing the lead(II) halide and the free halogen: PbX4PbX2+X2 Suppose 25.00 g of a lead(IV) halide reacts to form 16.12 g of a lead(II) halide and the free halogen. Identify the halogen.
