Plants convert nitrogen into ammonia.This biological nitrogen fixation is affected by enzymes called nitrogenases.The enzymes assist in the transfer of electrons.The unbalanced reaction equation is
N (g) + H⁺aq) +e^- $\rightarrow$ H (g) + NH (aq)
What is the change in the oxidation number of nitrogen in this reaction?

Plants convert nitrogen into ammonia.This biological nitrogen fixation is affected by enzymes called nitrogenases.The enzymes assist in the transfer of electrons.The unbalanced reaction equation is
N (g) + H⁺aq) +e^-

\rightarrow

H (g) + NH (aq)
What is the change in the oxidation number of nitrogen in this reaction?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the reaction, nitrogen is reduced from an oxidation state of 0 in N2 to -3 in NH3, indicating a change of -3.
