The correct answer is - A) The major constituents of air are gaseous elements.
With the statement ''the major constituents of air are gaseous elements'' we can easily conclude that the air is a mixture. The reason for that is that we have a plural usage of the word element, elements, which mean that there are multiple elements that make up the air.
The air is indeed predominantly a mixture of gaseous elements. The most abundant gas in the air being the nitrogen with 78.9%, oxygen with 20.95%, argon 0.93%, and carbon dioxide 0.04%, with lesser amounts of other gases also be present in it. The water vapor is also present in the air, though it is variable, being around 1% at sea level, but only 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.
The SI base unit for length is meter.
In order to make smaller measurements, you can use the centi-, milli-, micro-, etc. prefixes.
When you want to reference larger measurements, you can use the kilo-, mega-, giga- and prefixes such as those.
a. mol O₂=0.5
b. volume O₂ = 25 cm³
c. i. the total volume of the two reactants = 75 cm³
c. ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed = 50 cm³
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction
2NO(gas) + O₂(gas) ⇒ 2NO₂ (gas)
a.
mol NO = 1
From the equation, mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so mol O₂ :
b.
From Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles
Because mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so volume O₂ :
c.
i. total volume of reactants : 25 cm³+ 50 cm³=75 cm³
ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed :
mol ratio NO : NO₂ = 2 : 2, so volume NO₂ = volume NO = 50 cm³
