Question 27

Multiple Choice

Given: NH₃ + HCl $\rightarrow$ NH₄Cl
Which of the following is taking place in the reaction?

A) The oxidation number of the hydrogen atom increases from +3 to +4; so it is being oxidized.
B) The oxidation number of the chlorine atom decreases from 0 to +1; so it is being oxidized.
C) The oxidation number of the chlorine atom decreases from +1 to 0; so it is being reduced.
D) The oxidation number of the nitrogen atom increases from -3 to +4, so it is being oxidized.
E) The oxidation number of the nitrogen atom remains the same at -3.
