C=x

O= -2 (rule)

(CO3)-2 has a charge of -2

x+ 3(-2)=-2

x=4

C=4

O=-2

What is the iupac name for Zn(HCO3)4?

This looks like it would be zinc(IV) carbonate, but that is not possible, since Zn has only one oxidation state, and that is 2+. So, the compound should be Zn(HCO3)2 as HCO3 (bicarbonate) has an oxidation number of 1-. So, Zn(HCO3)4 would not exist.

Chemical formula for cobalt II chloride?

CoCl3 is the chemical formula.Common oxidation states of cobalt include +2 and +3, so possible chlorides are: CoCl2 and CoCl3 , but the last one is rare.(CoF3 (Co(III)-fluoride) is a better possibillity to prove this oxidation state)Maximum oxidation state is +5, though Cobalt can easily 'coordinate' with in total 6 coordinative groups (=CG) and negative ions: Co(CG)4Cl2 (a coordinative group migh be a < -N| >-atom group of ammonia, ethylenediamine or haemoglobin)

What is the oxidation number of carbon in carbonate?

Carbon has an oxidation number of +4 in both carbonate and bicarbonate. Oxygen as usual has an oxidation number of -2, and hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1. Therefore, the ion CO3-2 has six negative charges from oxygen partly balanced by four positive changes from carbon for a net of -2, and HCO3-1 has six negative charges from oxygen partly balanced by one positive from hydrogen and needs for plus four from carbon for an overall value of -1.
