Answer:

Explanation:

Na₂O₂

NOTE: the oxidation number of oxygen is always –2 except in peroxides where it is –1.

Thus, we can obtain the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ as illustrated below:

Na₂O₂ = 0 (oxidation number of ground state compound is zero)

2Na + 2O = 0

O = –1

2Na + 2(–1) = 0

2Na – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

2Na = 0 + 2

2Na = 2

Divide both side by 2

Na = 2/2

Na = +1

Thus, the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ is +1

Tom [10]

Aniline can be produced from nitro-benzene by reduction. When nitro-benzene reacts with tin (Sn) + hydrochloride acid (HCl) then aniline is produced. The Sn + HCl forms free hydrogen ions which converts the nitro group of the benzene ring to amine group, which is aniline. In place of Sn + HCl. One can use palladium (Pd) hydrogen mixture in presence of ethanol (EtOH). There produces a side product in this reaction which is cyclohexyl amine. The reaction can be shown as.
