What is the oxidation number of P in H3PO3?

'3' H3PO3 To calculate oxidation no. First sepatate out the ion. In this case PO3^(3-). Using oxygen as tha standard at '-2'. Then the oxygen moiety is '3 X -2 = -6' Creating a little sum P + -6 = -3 (The charge on the ion) . Add '6' t NB 'P' is in the same group as 'N' . Elements in this Group have variable oxid'n numbers. Hence P -6 + 6 = -3 +6 P = +3 The oxidation number of 'P'.


What is the oxidation number of phosphorus in H3PO3?

Oxidation number of P in H3PO3 is +3. To calculate the oxidation number H= 1 except when bonded to metal O is -2 except when bonded to F The sum of all of the oxidation number on a molecule /ion is equal to the charge so as H3PO3 is a neutral molecule:- 0 = OxP + 3OxH + 3OxO = Oxp + 3 + (-6) Oxp = +3 H3PO3 is phosphorus acid. However when you try to make it in aqueous solution, it "tautomerises" , turning into phosphonic acid, HPO(OH)2- same formula H3PO3, but its got a P-H bond and a P=O bond. The oxidation number of P is still 3

What is the oxidation number of HClO?

For HClO oxidation No. is '0' . It is a neutrally charged molecule. However, The chlorine atom is in oxidation state (+1). How so???? you may ask . Using oxygen as that standard at '-2' , and hydrogen at '+1' We create a little sum +1 + Cl -2 = 0 ( overall charge on the molecule). Collecting terms Cl - 1 = 0 Cl = + 1 as required. NB When dissolved in water chlorine disproportionates. That is it simultaneously oxidises and reduces., Cl2(aq) = Cl^(+)(aq) + Cl^(-)(aq) It reacts with water molecules to form ;- Cl2 + H2O = HClO + HCl The supply of drinking water from public sources has chlorine bubbled through to act as a bacteriocide (kill the bugs). So tap/faucet water is a very weak solution of hydrochloric acid(HCl) and Hydrogen chlorate(bleach)(HClO). It won't harm you, because the solution is so weak, but just enough to kill the bugs.

What is the oxidation number of acetate?

The oxidation number of acetate (CH3COO-) is -1. The carbon atom has an oxidation number of +3, each hydrogen atom has an oxidation number of +1, and the oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -2.


What is PCl3 plus H2O yields H3PO3 plus HCl balanced?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: PCl3 + 3H2O → H3PO3 + 3HCl


What is the oxidation number of H2CO2?

The oxidation number of each hydrogen in H2CO2 is +1, while the oxidation number of each carbon in CO2 is +4. This is because hydrogen usually has an oxidation number of +1, and oxygen usually has an oxidation number of -2.
