Using the redox reaction below determine which element is oxidized and which is reduced.4NH₃ + 3Ca(ClO)₂ $\rarr$ 2N₂ + 6H₂O + 3CaCl₂ A) H is oxidized and N is reduced B) Cl is oxidized and O is reduced C) N is oxidized and Cl is reduced D) Cl is oxidized and N is reduced E) N is oxidized and O is reduced

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

N is oxidized because its oxidation state increases from -3 to 0. Cl is reduced because its oxidation state decreases from +1 to -1.
