Question #d09f9 Chemistry Electrochemistry Oxidation and Reduction Reactions 1 Answer Nathan L. May 17, 2017 #N# is being oxidized, #H# is being reduced. Explanation: Since #N_2(g)# has an oxidation state of #0# originally, and then has an oxidation state of #+3# on the products side, #N# is being oxidized. Since #H_2(g)# has an oxidation state of #0# originally, and then has an oxidation state of #-1# on the products side, #H# is being reduced.
