हिन्दीWhat is the change in oxidation number of carbon in the following reaction? \( \text{CH}_{4(\text{g})} + 4\text{Cl}_{2(\text{g})} \longrightarrow \text{CCl}_{4(\text{l})} + 4\text{HCl}_{(\text{g})} \)
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
\( -4 \text{ to } +4 \)
Explanation
In \( \text{CH}_4 \), the oxidation state of carbon is \( -4 \). In \( \text{CCl}_4 \), the oxidation state of carbon is \( +4 \). Thus, the change is from \( -4 \) to \( +4 \).
