Air is mainly composed of N2 (78%), O2 (21%) and other trace gases. Now, the total pressure of air is the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases. The partial pressure of each gas, for example say O2, can be expressed as:
p(O2) = mole fraction of O2 * P(total, air) ----(1)
Thus, the partial pressure is directly proportional to the total pressure. If we consider a sealed container then, as the temperature of air increases so will its pressure. Based on equation (1) an increase in the pressure of air should also increase the partial pressure of oxygen.
Answer:
The gas obeys Boyle’s law and the value of 
both are equal to 40.0 atm L.
Explanation:
Initial volume of the gas = 
Initial pressure of the gas = 
Final volume of the gas = 
Final pressure of the gas = 
This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.
The equation given by this law is:
The gas in the cylinder is obeying Boyle's law.
The gas obeys Boyle’s law and the value of both are equal to 40.0 atm L.
The compound nitrogen have most positive oxidation state is NO₂. The correct option is b.
<h3>What is oxidation state?</h3>
The total number of electrons gained or lost by an atom in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.
The charge on an ion is equal to the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in the ion. A substance's more electronegative elements are given a negative oxidation state.
A positive oxidation state is assigned to the less electronegative element.
Thus, the correct option is b, NO₂.
