    In Na2S2O3, one S is -2, the other is +2 (average is 0).
  • Which element is reduced in this reaction? 16H⁺ + 2Cr2O7²⁻ + C2H5OH → 4Cr³⁺ + 11H2O + 2CO2
    Chromium is reduced (from +6 in Cr2O7²⁻ to +3 in Cr³⁺).
  • Determine the overall charge on each complex.
    The overall charge is the sum of the charges of the metal and ligands in the complex.
  • Give the oxidation state of each metal species.
    Assign oxidation states based on the charge and the known oxidation numbers of ligands.
  • Assign the correct oxidation number to each species in the redox reaction below.
    Assign oxidation numbers using the rules: elements in standard state = 0, Group 1A = +1, Group 2A = +2, oxygen = -2, hydrogen = +1, sum equals charge.
  • Determine the oxidation state of P in PO3³⁻.
    The oxidation state of phosphorus in PO3³⁻ is +3.
  • Determine the oxidation number of the highlighted atom in the structure.
    Use the rules to assign the oxidation number based on the atom's environment in the structure.
  • In which reaction does the oxidation number of oxygen increase?
    In reactions where oxygen is reduced from O2 (0) to H2O (-2), its oxidation number decreases; in reactions where oxygen forms O2 from H2O2 (-1), its oxidation number increases.
