\(BeO\) reacts with \(HF\) in presence of ammonia to give \([A]\) which on thermal decomposition produces \([B]\) and ammonium fluoride. Oxidation state of Be in \([A]\) is _______
Correct Answer: 2
Solution and Explanation
\(BeO+2NH_3+4HF⟶(NH_4)_2 [BeF_4]\)
\((A)\)
\((NH_4)_2(BeF_4)\xrightarrow{Heating} BeF_2+2NH_4F\)
\((B)\)
Oxidation State of \(Be\) in \((A)\) is \((+2)\)

Two cells of emf 1V and 2V and internal resistance 2 \( \Omega \) and 1 \( \Omega \), respectively, are connected in series with an external resistance of 6 \( \Omega \). The total current in the circuit is \( I_1 \). Now the same two cells in parallel configuration are connected to the same external resistance. In this case, the total current drawn is \( I_2 \). The value of \( \left( \frac{I_1}{I_2} \right) \) is \( \frac{x}{3} \). The value of x is 1cm.

Concepts Used:
Oxidation and Reduction
What is Oxidation?
Oxidation is a chemical process which can be explained by following four point of views
In terms of oxygen transfer
In terms of electron transfer
In terms of hydrogen transfer
In terms of oxidation number
Oxidation in Terms of Oxygen Transfer – Oxidation is gain of oxygen.
What is Reduction?
Reduction is a chemical process which can be explained by following four point of views
In terms of oxygen transfer
In terms of electron transfer
In terms of hydrogen transfer
In terms of oxidation number
Reduction in Terms of Oxygen Transfer – Reduction is loss of oxygen.
What is Redox Reaction?
A chemical reaction which involves transfer of electrons or change in oxidation number of atoms is called redox reaction.
