Problems on determination of Oxidation Number

ON of neutral molecule is always zero

Illustration 1 – Oxidation Number of H and O in H2O

Let us take ON of H = +1 and ON of O = -2

2 X (+1) + 1 X (-2) = 0

(+2) + (-2) = 0 thus, ON of H is +1 and ON of O is -2

Illustration 2 – Oxidation Number of Na and Cl in NaCl

ON of Na = +1 and ON of Cl = -1

(+1) + (-1) = 0 thus, ON of Na is +1 and ON of Cl is -1

Illustration 3 – Oxidation Number of S in H2SO4

Let ON of S be (x) and we know ON of H = +1 and O = -2

2 X (+1) + (x) + 4 X (-2) = 0

(+2) + (x) + (-8) = 0

(x) = +6 therefore, ON of S is +6

Illustration 4 – Oxidation Number of Cr in K2Cr2O7

Let ON of Cr be x and we know ON of K = +1 and O = -2

2 X (+1) + 2 X (x) + 7 X (-2) = 0

(+2) + (2x) + (-14) = 0

2x = +12

x = +6 therefore, ON of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is +6

Illustration 5 – Oxidation Number of Fe in FeSO4

Let ON of Fe be x and we know ON of S = +6 and O = -2

42.   + 1 X (+6) + 4 X (-2) = 0

43.   + (+6) + (-8) = 0

x = +2 therefore, ON of Fe in FeSO4 is +2
