A sample of neon occupies a volume of 478 mL at STP. What will be the volume of the neon when the pressure is reduced to 93.3 kPa?

The volume of neon when the pressure is reduced to 93.3 kPa is 519 mL.

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of gases is mostly based on Boyle's law. From the Boyle's law, the pressure experienced by any gas molecules is inversely proportional to volume of the gas molecules. Also this inverse relation is obeyed if and only if the number of moles and temperature of the gas molecules remained constant.

So,

So if there is a change in pressure then there will be inverse change in volume. That means if there is decrease in the pressure of gas molecules then there will be increase in the volume and vice versa.

So the Boyle's law is combined as

As here the initial pressure or is 1 atm or 101.3 kPa and the initial volume is 478 mL. Similarly, the final pressure is 93.3 kPa and the final volume will be

So, the volume of neon when the pressure is reduced to 93.3 kPa is 519 mL.

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
