IB skill practice

Assign oxidation states and identify redox processes

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 4

Oxidation number increase

A species in a industrial chemistry case changes oxidation state from \(0\) to \(4\). Calculate the oxidation-state increase. Use the visual evidence before connecting the answer to the chemical rule. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
