Interpretation:
The oxidation state for each atom in the given compound is to be assigned.
Concept information:
The oxidation state of a substance is defined as the transfer of electrons in a chemical compound or as a charge which an atom of the element has in its ion or appears to have when present in the combined state with other atoms.
It can either be zero, positive or negative. An atom which gains electron has a negative value of oxidation state and atom which loses has a positive oxidation state.
The oxidation state of an atom in Free State is zero.
The oxidation state of a monatomic ion is equal to the charge on the ion.
In the compounds, the overall oxidation state of a neutral atom is zero.
Each group possess a particular oxidation state. The oxidation state of group I is
In the compounds, the overall oxidation state of a neutral atom is zero.
In complex ions, the sum of oxidation numbers of all atoms in the ions is equal to the charge on the ion.

- Chromium has been investigated as a coating for steel cans. The thickness of the chromium film is determined by dissolving a sample of a can in acid and oxidizing the resulting Cr3+ to Cr2O72 with the peroxydisulfate ion: S2O82(aq) + Cr3+(aq) + H2O(l) Cr2O72(aq) + SO42(aq) + H+(aq) (Unbalanced) After removal of unreacted S2O82 an excess of ferrous ammonium sulfate [Fe(NH4)2(SO4)26H2O] is added, reacting with Cr2O72 produced from the first reaction. The unreacted Fe2+ from the excess ferrous ammonium sulfate is titrated with a separate K2Cr2O7 solution. The reaction is: H+(aq) + Fe2+(aq) + Cr2O72(aq) Fe3+(aq) + Cr3+(aq) + H2O(l) (Unbalanced) a. Write balanced chemical equations for the two reactions. b. In one analysis, a 40.0-cm2 sample of a chromium-plated can was treated according to this procedure. After dissolution and removal of excess S2O82, 3.000 g of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)26H2O was added. It took 8.58 mL of 0.0520 M K2Cr2O7 solution to completely react with the excess Fe2+.
