Let's assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior.
Then we can use ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
Where, P is Pressure of the gas (Pa), V is volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the Universal gas constant (8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is the temperature in Kelvin (K)
The given data for the gas is,
P = 2.8 atm = 283710 Pa
V = 98 L = 98 x 10⁻³ m³
T = 292 K
R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
n = ?
By applying the formula,
283710 Pa x 98 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 292 K
n = 11.45 mol
Hence,moles of gas is 11.45 mol.
Mg gained mass because it went from being a single element (on the reactant side) to being a molecule (on the product side).
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.
The element is TELLURIUM. Tellurium has atomic number 52 with the electronic configuration of [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p4. The element belongs to group 16 elements on the periodic table. It exhibits various oxidation states: +2, +4, +6, and -2. +4 is its most common oxidation state.
