[SOLVED] Oxidation #s For Zn(NO3)2 ?
I need to ballance the redox reaction underneath using the 1/2 reaction method but the problem is that I can't figure out the oxidation #s for Zn(NO3)2 and after that, I'm having problems balancing it.
Zn + HNO3 ---> Zn(NO3)2 + 2NH4NO3 + H2O
On the reactants side, the oxidation # for Zn is 0, For H->+1 for N--->+5 for O3--->-2/atom
