<u>Answer:</u> Oxidation state of Arsenic in the given compound is +3 and that of oxygen is -2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a compound having formula As_2O_3 and we need to find the oxidation state of all the atoms in this compound. There are 2 different atoms present in this : Arsenic and Oxygen

Oxidation state is the number which is assigned to an element in a compound which represents the number of electrons lost or gained by an atom in a compound.

Oxidation state of oxygen as -2 which is same always. Now, to calculate the oxidation state of Arsenic, we take the oxidation state of it be 'x'

As, there are two arsenic atoms and three oxygen atoms, then:

\Rightarrow 2(x)+3(-2)=0\\\Rightarrow 2x-6=0\\\Rightarrow x=+3

Hence, oxidation state of Arsenic in the given compound is +3 and that of oxygen is -2.

What is the pressure of 0.5 mol of nitrogen gas in a 5 L container at 203 K
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

=1.666 liters

Explanation:

1 mole of a has at standard temperature and pressure occupies a volume of 22.4 liters.

0.5 moles of nitrogen occupy a volume of (0.5 moles×22.4 dm³/mol)/ 1

=11.2 liters.

Standard pressure= 1 atmosphere (Atm)

Standard temperature = 273.15 Kelvin

According to Combined gas equation, P₁V₁/T₁=P₂V₂/T₂

Let us take the conditions under standard conditions as the reference, with the subscript 1 and the conditions under the 5L container to be scenario 2 with subscript 2.

Therefore P₂ =P₁V₁T₂/T₁V₂

Substituting for the values we get:

P₂= (1 atm× 11.2L ×203K)/ (273K×5L)

=1.666 atm
