Expert Solution

Oxidation number denotes oxidation state of an elelment in a compound.

Cr (s) : Oxidation number of Cr is 0.

Rule : In elements, in the free or the uncombined state, each atom have an oxidation number zero.

Accoridng to this rule , oxidation number of Cr in Cr (s) will be zero.

Br2(l) : Oxidation number of Br is 0.

Rule : In elements, in the free or the uncombined state, each atom have an oxidation number zero.

Accoridng to this rule , oxidation number of Br in Br2(l) will be zero.

Cr 3+ (aq) : Oxidation number of Cr in Cr 3+ (aq) is +3.

Rule : in case of ions, composed of only one atom, the oxidation number is equal to charge on the ion.

In this case, Cr 3+ ion is composed of only one Cr atom , therefore oxidation number of Cr is equal to charge on ion i e +3.

Br - (aq) : Oxidation number of Br is - 1

Rule : in case of ions, composed of only one atom, the oxidation number is equal to charge on the ion.

In this case, Br - ion is composed of only one Br atom , therefore oxidation number of Br is equal to charge on ion i e - 1.

Species	Oxidation number
Cr (s)	0
Br2(l)	0
Cr 3+ (aq)	+ 3
Br - (aq)	- 1
