Answer:The correct answer is ;

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.

Explanation:

$2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)$

In an oxidation recation addition of oxygen atom takes place or loss of electrons takes place.

In an reduction reaction removal of oxygen atom takes place or gain of electrons takes place.

In the given reaction , the nitrogen atom is present in +2 oxidation state in NO molecule and present in 0 oxidation state in $N_2$ molecule. Hence, nitrogen is getting reduced that is reduction reaction. NO is oxidizing agent

In the given reaction , the carbon atom is present in +2 oxidation state in CO molecule and present in +4 oxidation state in $CO_2$ molecule. Hence ,carbon is getting oxidized that is oxidation reaction. CO is a reducing agent.

Answer: The correct statement is 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.

Explanation:

Oxidizing agent is the agent which oxidizes the other substance and itself gets reduced. The reaction it undergoes is reduction reaction. It gains electrons and the oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Reducing agent is the agent which reduced the other substance and itself gets oxidized. The reaction it undergoes is oxidation reaction. It looses its electrons and the oxidation state of the substance is increased

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)$

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of Nitrogen = +2

Oxidation state of Carbon = +2

Oxidation state of Oxygen = -2

On product side:

Oxidation state of Nitrogen = 0

Oxidation state of Carbon = +4

Oxidation state of Oxygen = -2

The oxidation state of carbon is increasing from +2 to +4, it is loosing electrons and thus it is undergoing oxidation reaction and CO is considered as a reducing agent. And the oxidation state of Nitrogen in reducing from +2 to 0, it is gaining electrons and thus it is undergoing reduction reaction and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

Hence, the correct statement is 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.

A slurry of flakes soybeans weighing a total of 100 kg contains 75 kg of inert solids and 25 kg of solution with 10 wt% oil and

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

the amounts and compositions of the overflow V1 and underflow L1 leaving the stage are 75kg and 125kg respectively.

Explanation:

Let state the given parameters;

Let A= solvent (hexane)

B= solid(inert soiid)

C= solvent(oil)

$F_{solution}$ = mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

Feed Phase:

Total feed (i.e slurry of flakes soybeans)= 100kg

B= mass of solid =75 kg

F= mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

= 25kg

Mass ratio of oil to solution $Y_{F}$ = $\frac{Mass C}{Mass (A+C)}$

mass of oil (C) =25 × 0.1 wt = 2.5kg

mass of hexane in feed = 25 × 0.9 =22.5kg + 2.5 =25kg

therefore $Y_{F}$ = $\frac{2.5}{25}$

= 0.1

mass ratio of solid to solution $Y_{A}$ = $\frac{Mass A}{Mass (A+C)}=[tex]\frac{75}{25}$

Solvent Phase:

C= Mass of oil= 0(kg)

A= Mass of hexane = 100kg

mass of solutions = A+C = 0+100kg

solvent= 100kg

Underflow:

underflow = L₁ = (unknown) ???

L₁ = E₁ + B

the value of N for the outlet and underflow is 1.5 kg

i.e N₁ = $\frac{mass B}{mass(A+C)}$

solution in underflow E₁ = Mass (A+C)

Overflow:

Overflow = V₁ = (unknown) ???

solution in overflow V₁ = Mass (A+C)

This is because, B = 0 in overflow

Solid Balance: (since the solid is inert, then is said to be same in feed & underflow).

solid in feed = solid in underflow = 75

75= E₁ × N₁

75 = E₁ × 1.5

E₁ = 50kg

Underflow L₁ = E₁ × B

= 50 + 75

=125kg

The Overall Balance: Feed + Solvent = underflow + overflow

100 + 100 = 125 + V₁

V₁ = 75kg

A student wants to remove the salt from a mixture of sand and salt in order to get only pure sand. He adds water to the mixture.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Here is one way: Add water to the mixture. Only the sugar dissolves. This is a physical change.

Explanation:

The sugar would dissolve in water. You could then pour off the solution and wash the remaining sand with a bit more water. Heat the water to evaporate it from the sugar, and the two are separated.

What is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom

aleksklad [387]

Answer: It depends on the element.

Explanation: Every element has a different amount of protons in its nucleus. It is the same as its atomic number on the periodic table. For example: Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1 because it has 1 proton in its nucleus, Helium has 2, Carbon has 6, Platnium has 78, and so on...
