1 mole of N2H4 loses 10 mol of electrons to form a new compound Y. Assuming that all the nitrogen appear in the new compound, what is the oxidation state of nitrogen in Y? (no change in the oxidation state H).

Solution
N2H4↑⟶N2↑(−−−)+10e− In N2H4;2N=−4 oxidation and it is loosing 10 electron so new N have oxidation of =(−4+10)/2=+3
