Simple Question

Answer 1

\[\large \bf CH_4+2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O\]
How many electrons are exchanged in the reaction ?

Answer 2

\(\rm C\) moves from an oxidation state of -4 to +4.

Answer 3

So yeah, simply eight electrons.

Answer 4

okay ! what if we look at the side of oxygen ?

Answer 5

For two molecules of \(O_2\), all four atoms move from an oxidation state of zero to \(-2\). So the total number of electrons = \(2 \cdot 4 = 8\)

Answer 6

kya confusion hai?

Answer 7

samaj aa gaya.
