The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.

The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The product gas is then passed through a concentrated solution of KOH to remove the CO2. After passage through the KOH solution,

Kamila [148]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of nitrogen gas in the compound is 13.3 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

Assuming the chemical equation of the compound forming product gases is:

$\text{Compound}\xrightarrow[CuO(s)]{Hot}N_2(g)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(g)$

Now, the product gases are treated with KOH to remove carbon dioxide.

We are given:

$p_{Total}=726torr\\P_{water}=23.8torr\\$

So, pressure of nitrogen gas will be = $p_{Total}-p_{water}=726-23.8=702.2torr$

To calculate the number of moles of nitrogen, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of nitrogen gas = 702.2 torr = 0.924 atm (Conversion factor: 1 atm = 760 torr)

V = Volume of nitrogen gas = 31.8 mL = 0.0318 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

T = Temperature of nitrogen gas = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of nitrogen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.924atm\times 0.0318L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\n_{mix}=\frac{0.924\times 0.0318}{0.0821\times 298}=0.0012mol$

To calculate the mass of nitrogen gas, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen gas = 0.0012 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0012mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen gas}}{28g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitrogen gas}=(0.0012mol\times 28g/mol)=0.0336g$

To calculate the mass percent of nitrogen gas in compound, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of nitrogen gas}=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen gas}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100$

Mass of compound = 0.253 g

Mass of nitrogen gas = 0.0336 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of nitrogen gas}=\frac{0.0336g}{0.253g}\times 100=13.3\%$

Hence, the mass percent of nitrogen gas in the compound is 13.3 %

The substance whose lewis structure shows three covalent bonds is

Gnoma [55]

The substance whose Lewis structure shows three covalent bonds is Nitrogen gas molecule.

<h3>What is Lewis structure?</h3>

Lewis structure is a dot structure which gives idea about the number of valence electrons that are involved in the bonding within the molecule.

Lewis dot structure of nitrogen gas will be expressed as in the attached image, where between two nitrogen atoms triple bond is present. That triple bond is formed by the sharing of electrons and known as covalent bonds.

Hence in nitrogen gas molecule three covalent bonds is present.
