Answer:

Explanation:

The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.

The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.

<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>

A sample of an ideal gas has a volume of 2.30 L at 281 K and 1.02 atm. 1.76 atm is the pressure when the volume is 1.41 L and the temperature is 298 K.

<h3>What is Combined Gas Law ?</h3>

This law combined the three gas laws that is (i) Charle's Law (ii) Gay-Lussac's Law and (iii) Boyle's law.

It is expressed as

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

P₁ = first pressure

P₂ = second pressure

V₁ = first volume

V₂ = second volume

T₁ = first temperature

T₂ = second temperature

Now put the values in above expression we get

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{1.02\ atm \times 2.30\ L}{281\ K} = \frac{P_2 \times 1.41\ L}{298\ K}$

$P_{2} = \frac{1.02\ atm \times 2.30\ L \times 298\ K}{281\ K \times 1.41\ L}$

P₂ = 1.76 atm

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A sample of an ideal gas has a volume of 2.30 L at 281 K and 1.02 atm. 1.76 atm is the pressure when the volume is 1.41 L and the temperature is 298 K.
