Label each element in the chemical reaction below with the correct oxidation state NH3 (aq) + 3 HOCl (ax)

NCI () + 3 H20 (1)

N = -3

H = +1

O = -2

Cl = +1

Explanation:

The balanced Equation of the reaction above is:

NH3 + 3HOCl > NCl3 + 3H2O

Where NH3 is ammonia;

HOCl is Oxochlorate (I) acid

NCl3 is nitrogen trichloride

H2O is water

Nitrogen in both Ammonia and Nitrogen trichloride has an oxidation state of -3. It shares three electrons with each of the three atoms of hydrogen and chlorine

Hydrogen in both Oxochlorate (I) acid and in water has an oxidation state of +1. Each atom shares an election with oxyen in both compounds.

Oxygen in both Oxochlorate (I) acid and water has an oxidation state of -2. Each atom shares two electrons with neighboring atoms; in HOCl, it shares with chlorine and hydrogen, while in H2O, it shares with two atoms of hydrogen.

Chlorine in both Oxochlorate (i) acid and Nitrogen trichloride has an oxidation state of +1. It shares an electron with each of it's neighboring bonded atoms.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
