In a reaction 4 mole of electrons were transferred to 1 mole of HNO3.the reactant is??

options are:
a-0.5 mole of N2
b-0.5 mole of N2O
c-1 mole of NO2
d-1mole of NH3

Answer:
If I'm understanding correctly, HNO3 is the product of the reaction, right? OK.So, the nitrogen in HNO3 has an oxidation number of +5. So, if you took 4 moles of electrons away from one mole of HNO3, the nitrogen would have begun with an oxidation state of +1. Of your choices of answers, in (b), the oxidation state of each nitrogen atom is +1, so I think B is the correct answer.
