The given compound is NaHCO3 Sodium bicarbonate which is commonly known as Baking soda.
Oxidation numbers are the charges on ions. When a neutral atom loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When a neutral atom gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.
Here the C represents the oxidation state of carbon in this compound. Compounds are electrically neutral, which is why we set the sum of the oxidation states equal to zero.
Sodium has a +1 oxidation state. Hydrogen has a +1 oxidation state. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. There are three oxygen atoms, which means the total oxidation state provided by both oxygen ions is -6. Adding up these oxidation states we get:
1 + 1 + (-6) + C = 0
-4 + C = 0
=> C = 4
This means the oxidation state of carbon in this compound is +4.

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) The most commonly thought of hazard in construction. This hazard includes radiation, extreme temperatures, noise, and vibration.
Explanation:
A physical hazard is defined as "A factor within the environment that can harm the body without necessarily touching it."
Vibration and noise are examples of physical hazards.
Physical hazards include but aren't limited to electricity, radiation, pressure, noise, heights and vibration amongst many others.
