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.

<u>Answer: </u>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.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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)

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Oxidation state of Nitrogen = +2

Oxidation state of Carbon = +2

Oxidation state of Oxygen = -2

<u>On product side:</u>

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.

The Haber Process is the main industrial procedure to produce ammonia. The reaction combines nitrogen from air with hydrogen mai
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

A) N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g).

B) Kc=0.0933.

C) 0.9 mol.

D) Increasing both temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the information, we proceed as follows:

A)

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

B) For the calculation of Kc, we rate the equilibrium expression:

Kc=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3}

Next, since at equilibrium the concentration of ammonia is 0.6 M (0.9 mol in 1.5 dm³ or L), in terms of the reaction extent x, we have:

[NH_3]=0.6M=2*x

x=\frac{0.6M}{2}=0.3M

Next, the concentrations of nitrogen and hydrogen at equilibrium are:

[N_2]=\frac{1.5mol}{1.5L}-x=1M-0.3M=0.7M

[H_2]=\frac{4mol}{1.5L}-3*x=2.67M-0.9M=1.77M

Therefore, the equilibrium constant is:

Kc=\frac{(0.6M)^2}{(0.7M)*(1.77M)^3}\\ \\Kc=0.0933

C) In this case, the equilibrium yield of ammonia is clearly 0.9 mol since is the yielded amount once equilibrium is established.

D) Here, since the reaction is endothermic (positive enthalpy change), one way to increase the yield of ammonia is increasing the temperature since heat is reactant for endothermic reactions. Moreover, since this reaction has less moles at the products, another way to increase the yield is increasing the pressure since when pressure is increased the side with fewer moles is favored.

Best regards.

A sample of gas has a mass of 0.560 g . Its volume is 125 mL at a temperature of 85 ∘C and a pressure of 757 mmHg .
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

132g/mole

Explanation:

using the formula PV=nRT should be used to solve for the number of moles (n).  R is a constant which is 62.3637 L mmHG/mole K.

Inorder for your units to match you will have to convert 125ml to .125L and the temperature of 85C to K . you do that by adding 273 to the 85C and get 358K.  Once you solve for n then you use that number and divide by the number of grams from the question (.560g) since molar mass is grams/moles.
