Question

Assign oxidation states to all of the species in the following redox reaction. For the reactants, also identify electron loss or gain, the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.

	Hg²⁺(aq)	+	Cu(s)	Hg(l)	+	Cu²⁺(aq)
Oxidation state	___-7-6-5-4-3-2-10+1+2+3+4+5+6+7		___-7-6-5-4-3-2-10+1+2+3+4+5+6+7	___-7-6-5-4-3-2-10+1+2+3+4+5+6+7		___-7-6-5-4-3-2-10+1+2+3+4+5+6+7
Electron gain/loss	_____gainloss		_____gainloss
Oxidized or reduced	_________oxidizedreduced		_________oxidizedreduced
Reducing or oxidizing agent	___RAOA		___RAOA

Total number of electrons transferred from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent for the equation given is:

Submit Answer

Certain nitrites can be prepared by the chemical reduction of nitrates

2NO₃^-

2NO₂^-

CO₂

Assign an oxidation number to each atom and verify that the total number of electrons lost is equal to the total number gained.

Enter the oxidation numbers under each substance in the box corresponding to the element label to the left.

If a box is not needed, leave it blank.

	NO₃^-	C	NO₂^-	CO₂
