Solution
One Mole of N2?H4? loses 10 moles of e− ? Y
The oxidation state of H remains unchanged and all the Nitrogen" appears in Y.
∴ e− must be lost from nitrogen,
1 mole of N2?H4? contains 2 moles of nitrogen.
?2 moles of N loses 10 moles of e−.
∴1 mole loses 5 moles of e−
Initial oxidation state of N in N2?H4?=−2
when it loses 5 moles of e−
Final oxidation state of each N=−2+5=+3.
(since it loses e−, therefore it must acquire positive charge).
