The correct Answer is:
To determine the oxidation numbers of the underlined elements in the compounds \( N_2O_5 \), \( SO_3^{2-} \), and \( NH_4^{+} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the oxidation number of Nitrogen in \( N_2O_5 \) 1. **Write the oxidation number equation**: Let the oxidation number of nitrogen be \( X \). The oxidation number of oxygen is typically \(-2\). The compound is neutral, so: \[ 2X + 5(-2) = 0 \] 2. **Solve for \( X \)**: \[ 2X - 10 = 0 \\ 2X = 10 \\ X = 5 \] Therefore, the oxidation number of nitrogen in \( N_2O_5 \) is **+5**. ### Step 2: Calculate the oxidation number of Sulfur in \( SO_3^{2-} \) 1. **Write the oxidation number equation**: Let the oxidation number of sulfur be \( X \). The oxidation number of oxygen is \(-2\). The overall charge of the ion is \(-2\): \[ X + 3(-2) = -2 \] 2. **Solve for \( X \)**: \[ X - 6 = -2 \\ X = -2 + 6 \\ X = 4 \] Therefore, the oxidation number of sulfur in \( SO_3^{2-} \) is **+4**. ### Step 3: Calculate the oxidation number of Nitrogen in \( NH_4^{+} \) 1. **Write the oxidation number equation**: Let the oxidation number of nitrogen be \( X \). The oxidation number of hydrogen is \( +1 \). The overall charge of the ion is \( +1 \): \[ X + 4(+1) = +1 \] 2. **Solve for \( X \)**: \[ X + 4 = 1 \\ X = 1 - 4 \\ X = -3 \] Therefore, the oxidation number of nitrogen in \( NH_4^{+} \) is **-3**. ### Summary of Results: - The oxidation number of nitrogen in \( N_2O_5 \) is **+5**. - The oxidation number of sulfur in \( SO_3^{2-} \) is **+4**. - The oxidation number of nitrogen in \( NH_4^{+} \) is **-3**. ### Final Answer: - \( N_2O_5 \): +5 - \( SO_3^{2-} \): +4 - \( NH_4^{+} \): -3 ---
