The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.
The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.
Answer:
C . 24 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial volume of gas = 20.0 L
Initial pressure of gas = 660 mmHg
Final volume = ?
Final pressure = 550 mmHg
Solution:
The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,
"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"
Mathematical expression:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P₁ = Initial pressure
V₁ = initial volume
P₂ = final pressure
V₂ = final volume
Now we will put the values in formula,
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
660 mmHg × 20.0 L = 550 mmHg × V₂
V₂ = 13200 mmHg. L/ 550 mmHg
V₂ = 24 L
