Answer : The correct options are:

0 for Mg(s) and H in $H_2$

+1 for H in HCl

+2 for Mg in $MgCl_2$

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

$Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)$

Oxidation state of Mg(s) is, 0

Oxidation state of hydrogen in HCl is, (+1)

Oxidation state of chlorine in HCl is, (-1)

Oxidation state of Mg in $MgCl_2$ is, (+2)

Oxidation state of Cl in $MgCl_2$ is, (-1)

Oxidation state of hydrogen in $H_2$ is, 0

The given reaction is a single displacement reaction in which the most reactive metal (Mg) displaces the least reactive element (H) from its compound.

It is also a redox reaction because the oxidation state of Mg changes from 0 to (+2) and shows oxidation and the oxidation state of hydrogen changes from (+1) to 0 and shows reduction.

all these are correct:
0 for Mg(s) and H in H2

+1 for H in HCl

-1 for Cl in HCl

+2 for Mg in MgCl2

only the first statement is wrong

Assumption: carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Look up the relative atomic mass of carbon and oxygen on a modern periodic table:

C: 12.011;
O: 15.999.

Calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide $\rm CO_2$ :

$M\!\left(\mathrm{CO_2}\right) = 12.011 + 2\times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Find the number of moles of molecules in that $41.1\;\rm g$ sample of $\rm CO_2$ :

$n = \dfrac{m}{M} = \dfrac{41.1}{44.009} \approx 0.933900\; \rm mol$ .

If carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas, it should satisfy the ideal gas equation when it is inside a container:

$P \cdot V = n \cdot R \cdot T$ ,

where

$P$ is the pressure inside the container.
$V$ is the volume of the container.
$n$ is the number of moles of particles (molecules, or atoms in case of noble gases) in the gas.
$R$ is the ideal gas constant.
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas.

Rearrange the equation to find an expression for $P$ , the pressure inside the container.

$\displaystyle P = \frac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{V}$ .

Look up the ideal gas constant in the appropriate units.

$R = 8.314 \times 10^3\; \rm L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Evaluate the expression for $P$ :

$\begin{aligned} P &=\rm \frac{0.933900\; mol \times 8.314 \times 10^3 \; L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1} \times 298\; K}{3.4\; L} \cr &\approx \rm 6.81\times 10^5\; Pa \end{aligned}$ .

Apply dimensional analysis to verify the unit of pressure.
