The oxidation number of in sodium hydride is
Consider the following decomposition reaction
In the above reaction, Assertion (A): acts as oxidizing agent.
Reason (R): Oxidation no. of nitrogen is +5, no increase in oxidation no. beyond +5 can occur. The oxidation no. of can only decrease. Assertion :- Bromide ion is serving as a reducing agent in the reaction.
Reason :- Oxidation number of increases from to A substance, that by its sharp colour change indicates the completion of reaction is known as : The number of mole of ferrous oxalate oxidised by one mole of is:
