Acetylene is a neutral compound.
The reaction equation for the oxidation of acetylene (C2H2) with nitrous oxide (N2O) is: 2C2H2 + N2O -> 2CO2 + H2O + N2
The balanced equation for the complete oxidation of acetylene (C2H2) burning in air is: 2C2H2 + 5O2 -> 4CO2 + 2H2O. This equation shows that two molecules of acetylene react with five molecules of oxygen to produce four molecules of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water.
The oxidation state of chloride (Cl) is -1. As a halogen, chloride is usually found with an oxidation state of -1 in most compounds.
The oxidation state of calcium is +2.
The oxidation state of carbon in methanol (CH3OH) is +2. This is because oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1, so the carbon must have an oxidation state of +2 to balance the charges in the molecule.
2 oxidation state
O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
The oxidation state of calcium in calcium hydride is +2, as calcium typically forms ionic compounds with a +2 oxidation state.
S = +4 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
Platinum is connected to two anionic Chloride ligands and two neutral Ammine ligands Platinum = +2 oxidation state Chlorine = -1 oxidation state Nitrogen = -3 oxidation state Hydrogen = +1 oxidation state
Zinc is in oxidation state +2 and oxygen in oxidation state -2. Zinc Oxide itself has not net charge/oxidation state.
This oxidation state is 1.
