The IUPAC name of NO is nitric oxide. It is one of the many oxides of nitrogen. It is a colorless gas under standard temperature and pressure. It found great application in the combustion of fossil fuels in power plants. This substance is produced naturally by lightning.
Tighten the screw clamp over the fitting with a screwdriver, and place another metal screw clamp over the other end of the rubber vacuum line.
Displacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound. Both metals and non-metals take part in displacement reactions. Example : Reaction of iron nails with copper sulphate solution.
In an oxidation-reduction reaction there is an exchange of electrons.
The exchange of electrons implies change in the oxidation states: at least one element increases its oxidation number while other reduces it.
By simple ispection you can predict that in the equation b. there is a change in oxidation states of Cl and Mn.
Now you can check it:
Equation 4H Cl + Mn O2 -> Mn Cl2 + 2H2 O + Cl2
oxidation sates 1+ 1- 4+ 2- 2+ 1- 1+ 2- 0
The oxidation state of Cl in HCl is 1- and it changed to 0 in Cl2
The oxidation state of Mn in MnO2 is 4+ and it changed to 2+ in MnCl2
Answer b.
