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.

What is the oxidation number of carbon in Hydrogen carbonate?
+4 for carbon
What is the oxidation number in Carbonate?
Carbonate is CO32- ion and the oxidation numbers are +4 for carbon and -2 for each oxygen.
What is the oxidation number of carbon in carbonic acid?
I believe K2CO3.
Why there is a plus 2 in oxidation number in carbon?
Carbon has +2 oxidation number in Carbon monoxide. It gets this oxidation number when it loses or shares two electrons.

What is the oxidation number for carbonate and barium?
Barium Carbonate is BaCO3 and the oxidation numbers are +2 for barium, +4 for carbon and -2 for each oxygen.
What is the oxidation number of carbon in strontium carbonate?
In the carbonate CO32- the sum of the oxidation numbers is the ionic charge (true for all poyatomic ions) O is assigned -2 so C has +4. (maths 4 +(-6) = -2)
Why there is a plus 2 in oxidation number in carbon?
Carbon has +2 oxidation number in Carbon monoxide. It gets this oxidation number when it loses or shares two electrons.
WHAT IS OXIDATION NUMBER OF MGCO3?
Magnesium and carbonate are divalent.
What is the oxidation number of carbon in CH3OH?
The oxidation state of carbon in CH3OH is 4
What is oxidation number of carbon in Hydronium?
In the hydronium ion (H3O+), the oxidation number of carbon is +3.
What is the oxidation number of H2CO2?
Carbon atoms oxidation number is +2.Hydrogen's oxidation number is +1.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.
What is the oxidation number of solid sodium carbonate?
Na2C03 Oxidation number of Na = + 1 Oxidation number of O=-2, Oxidation number of C=2x1+x+3(-2)=0 so x=4
