Question

What are the oxidation numbers of these anions?

**The Analysis of Some Common Anions**

*Anions Represented:* \( \text{SO}_4^{2-}, \text{CO}_3^{2-}, \text{PO}_4^{3-}, \text{Cl}^-, \text{and NO}_3^- \)

The anions may be separated by classifying them into three groups: 

1. **The BaCl\(_2\) Group**: This group precipitates with barium ions.
2. **The Silver Nitrate Group**: Anions in this group precipitate with Ag\(^+\) ions.
3. **The Soluble Group**: Includes those anions that form soluble salts.
