$NH_4NO_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $NH_4NO_3$,the nitrogen element exhibits two different oxidation states. $NH_4NO_3$ is an ionic compound consisting of $NH_4^+$ and $NO_3^-$ ions. For $NH_4^+$: Let the oxidation state of $N$ be $x$. Then $x + 4(+1) = +1$,which gives $x = -3$. For $NO_3^-$: Let the oxidation state of $N$ be $y$. Then $y + 3(-2) = -1$,which gives $y = +5$. Thus,nitrogen exists in $-3$ and $+5$ oxidation states in $NH_4NO_3$.
