(a)
Interpretation:
Oxidation number of boron in
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation state of a species is the one that has a specified oxidation number. Increase in oxidation number corresponds to oxidation while decrease in oxidation number corresponds to reduction. Rules for assigning oxidation number for an element is given as follows;
- The oxidation number is zero for the element that is present in uncombined state.
- Sum of the oxidation number of the atoms that is present in it is equal to the charge on the species.
- Oxidation number of the element is the charge that is possessed when the more electronegative atom is imagined to be an ion.

- The iron content of hemoglobin is determined by destroying the hemoglobin molecule and producing small water-soluble ions and molecules. The iron in the aqueous solution is reduced to iron(II) ion and then titrated against potassium permanganate. In the titration, iron(ll) is oxidized to iron(III) and permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion. A 5.00-g sample of hemoglobin requires 32.3 mL of a 0.002100 M solution of potassium permanganate.
