Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.

A container has a mixture of NO2 gas and N2O4 gas in equilibrium. The chemical reaction between the two gases is described by th
kondaur [170]

Answer: The most likely partial pressures are 98.7MPa for NO₂ and 101.3MPa for N₂O₄

Explanation: To determine the partial pressures of each gas after the increase of pressure, it can be used the equilibrium constant Kp.

For the reaction 2NO₂ ⇄ N₂O₄, the equilibrium constant is:

Kp = \frac{P(N_{2}O_{4} )}{P(NO_{2} ^{2}) }

where:

P(N₂O₄) and P(NO₂) are the partial pressure of each gas.

Calculating constant:

Kp = \frac{38.8}{61.2^{2} }

Kp = 0.0104

After the weights, the total pressure increase to 200 MPa. However, at equilibrium, the constant is the same.

P(N₂O₄) + P(NO₂) = 200

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - P(NO₂)

Kp = \frac{P(N_{2}O_{4} )}{P(NO_{2} ^{2}) }

0.0104 = \frac{200 - P(NO_{2})  }{[P(NO_{2} )]^{2}}

0.0104[P(NO_{2} )]^{2} + P(NO_{2} ) - 200 = 0

Resolving the second degree equation:

P(NO_{2} ) = \frac{-1+\sqrt{9.32} }{0.0208}

P(NO_{2} ) = 98.7

Find partial pressure of N₂O₄:

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - P(NO₂)

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - 98.7

P(N₂O₄) = 101.3

The partial pressures are P(NO_{2} ) = 98.7 MPa and P(N₂O₄) = 101.3 MPa

What volume of a 3.0 M stock solution of H2SO4 is needed to prepare 2.8 L of a 1.6 M H2SO4 solution?
Georgia [21]
Use M1V1 = M2V2 to solve
3(V1) = 2.8 * 1.6
3(V1) = 4.48
V1 = 1.493 L of stock solution

What volume of so2 is produced at 325 k and 1.35 atm when 15.0 grams of hcl reacts with excess k2so3?
Helen [10]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2HCl + K₂SO₃ ---> 2KCl + H₂O + SO₂
stoichiometry of HCl to SO₂ is 2:1
number of moles of HCl reacted - 15.0 g / 36.5 g/mol = 0.411 mol 
according to molar ratio 
number of SO₂ moles formed - 0.411 mol /2 = 0.206 mol
since we know the number of moles we can find volume using ideal gas law equation 
PV = nRT
where
 P - pressure - 1.35 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 136 789 Pa 
V - volume 
n - number of moles - 0.206 mol 
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 325 K
substituting values in the equation 

136 789 Pa x V = 0.206 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 325 K 
V = 4.07 L 
volume of SO₂ formed is 4.07 L
