Question

One of the steps involved in the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere by nitric acid $(N O)$ may be represented as:
$N O (g) + O_{3} (g) ⟶ N O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)$
The oxidation number of $N$ changes from $+ 2$ to $+ 4$ .
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Solution

$N O (g) + O_{3} (g) ⟶ N O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)$
Hence, the oxidation state of N changes from $+ 2$ to $+ 4$ .
Therefore, the statement is true.
