Out of these possible answers A) Ba(NO3)2(aq) + K2SO4(aq) -> BaSO4(s) + 2KNO3(aq)
B) HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
C) MgO(s) + H2)(l) -> Mg(OH)2(s) D) 2SO2(g) + O2(g) -> 2 SO3(g) E) 2H2O(l) -> 2H2(g) + O2(g)

What is oxidation number of oxygen and and how?
The oxidation number of an element depend on another element it react with to form a compound e.g manganese(iv)oxide mno4 the oxidation number of oxygen there is four while the oxidation number of manganse is 7 in most radox reaction the oxidation number of oxygen is usually 4 when writing the full equation
What kind of reaction is 2H2O2 2H2O plus O2?
2H2O2 <-> H2O + O2 the oxidation number of each O in H2O2 is -1 the oxidation number in H2O is -2 the oxidation number in O2 is zero. The average oxidation number of oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation. is the same. So overall the net change to oxygen is zero one is reduced two are oxidised. Looked at from the viewpoint of the oxygen atoms in O2 they started off with oxidation number of -1 and have ended up with 0, so they have been oxidised. (oxidation is loss of electrons, and therefore an increase in oxidation number.)
How is oxide made?
An oxide is the product of an oxidation reaction, a reaction with oxygen.
What is the oxidation number of oxygen?
the answer is -2.Related Information:The oxidation number of oxygen when it appears as an element is 0. The oxidation number in all compounds but peroxides is -2. The oxidation number of oxygen in peroxides is -1.
What is the oxidation number for 5O2?
Atomic oxygen has oxidation number 0. Molecular oxygen also has 0 as oxidation number. It would be the same for five oxygen molecules as well.
Is oxidation a reaction between iron water and oxygen?
No. Oxidation is the loss of electrons by an atom, or equivalently an increase in the oxidation number of that atom. Rust formation is one example of oxidation.
In a combustion reaction the always changes oxidation number making this aN reaction?
oxygen, redox
Is N2O4 ---- 2NO2 a redox reaction?
No. The oxidation numbers of nitrogen and oxygen do not change.

What is oxidation number oxygen?
The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 in most of its compounds
Why is combustion reactions an oxidation reactions in small amount?
Combustion is an oxidation reaction - a reaction with oxygen.
What does oxidation reaction means using oxygen?
Oxidation means addition of oxygen. When oxygen is added to a compound, it is said to be oxidised.
How is oxide made?
An oxide is the product of an oxidation reaction, a reaction with oxygen.
What chemical reaction with other substances is called oxidation?
A reaction witrh oxygen is called oxidation. Generally oxidation involve lose of electrons.
What is the oxidation number of oxygen?
the answer is -2.Related Information:The oxidation number of oxygen when it appears as an element is 0. The oxidation number in all compounds but peroxides is -2. The oxidation number of oxygen in peroxides is -1.
In the compound Co2O3 cobalt has an oxidation number of while oxygen's oxidation number is -2.?
In the compound Co2O3 cobalt has an oxidation number of 3 while oxygen has an oxidation number is -2.
