Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

$2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)$

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.

Phantasy [73]

The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>3NO2 + H2O = 2HNO3 + NO

Assuming that the gases in this reaction are ideal gas, then we can use the conversion from L to moles which is 1 mol of ideal gas is equal to 22.4 L. We calculate as follows:

538 L NO2 ( 1 mol / 22.4L ) ( 1 mol NO / 3 mol NO2 ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 179.33 L NO is produced</span>
