The characteristics of a certain gas are listed in the table. What is the expected density of the above sample of gas?
A - 3.16 g/L
B - 1.58 g/L
C - 1.21 g/L
D - 1.03 g/L

Option A. 3.16 g/L

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the molar mass of Cl₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 × 35.45

= 70.9 g/mol

Finally, we shall determine the density of Cl₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of of Cl₂ (M) = 70.9 g/mol

Pressure (P) = stp = 1 atm

Temperature (T) = stp = 273 K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Density (D) =?

D = PM / RT

D = (1 × 70.9) / (0.0821 × 273)

D = 70.9 / 22.4133

D = 3.16 g/L

Thus, the density of the gas is 3.16 g/L.

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.
