what are the oxidation numbers of the V, O, and Cl atoms in the VOCL3?
+5, -2, -1
what is the oxidation number of Br in the BrO3 ion?
+5
2MnO4+5H2SO3 –>3H2O+5SO4+ 4H
which undergoes reduction
Mn
an oxidizing agent is…
reduced as it gains electrons.
LEO–> R.A (reducing agent is losing)
GET–> O.A (oxidizing agent is gaining)
