SOLUTION. This coordination complex is called tetraamminechloronitrito-N-cobalt (III). N comes before the O in the symbol for the nitrite ligand, so it is called nitrito-N. If an O came first, as in [CoCl (ONO) (NH 3) 4] +, the ligand would be called nitrito-O, yielding the name tetraamminechloronitrito-O-cobalt (III).For neutral compounds, the sum of all the oxidation numbers of the constituent atoms sums up to zero. When polyatomic ions are considered, the sum of all the oxidation numbers of the atoms that form the ions equals to the net charge on the polyatomic ion. Keeping this in mind, the oxidation number of Cr is considered to be x, 1. 2CrO42- + 6I-+ 8H2O3I2 + 2Cr (OH)3+ 10OH- In the above redox reaction, use oxidation numbers to identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent and. 1. In the above redox reaction, use oxidation numbers to identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. 2.
Step 4: Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result. Count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation and verify that all elements and electrons (if there are charges/ions) are balanced. 2 Cr2O3 + 3 O2 + 8 NaOH = 4 Na2CrO4 + 4 H2O. Reactants.
