Oxidation numbers should be used to answer this question.A redox reaction takes place between hydroxylammonium ions, [NH3OH]+, and acidified iron(III)ions, Fe3+. The products are iron(II) ions, Fe2+, H+ ions, water and a compound of nitrogen.The mole ratio of reacting hydroxylammonium ions to reacting iron(III) ions is 1 : 2.Which nitrogen-containing compound could be formed in the reaction?A) NH3 B) N2O C) NO D) NO2Answer is B, BUT WHY?
