2, Blank, 2 ;
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
The balanced chemical equation would be;
2 CO + O2 → 2 CO2
Balancing a chemical equation ensures that the number of atoms of each element are equal on both the reactants side and the products side. This ensures that the law of conservation of mass is obeyed in chemical reactions.
<span>The solid lines between N and Mg are actually ionic bonds. N has 5 valence electrons (2 of which are paired). Of the 3 that are unpaired, 2 are part of covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms. N accepts an extra electron to complete its octet, but gets a formal charge of -1. This allows for formation of an ionic bond with Mg, which is +2. Two of these charged N atoms therefore neutralize the charge of the central Mg. As for the coordinate (dative) covalent bonds, Mg has empty orbitals - the ionic bonds with the charged N atoms give it only 4/8 possible valence electrons.
The other two N atoms (dotted lines) have a formal charge of 0 since they form three covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms, but they still have a lone pair. Therefore, just to improve stability, each of these N atoms can "donate" its lone pair to Mg in order to complete its octet.

Answer:
d. Temperature and number of molecules of gas
Step-by-step explanation:
Boyle's Law states, "The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure if the temperature remains constant."
Let's examine the words.
"… volume…is inversely proportional to the pressure …" This means that volume and pressure are the <em>variables</em>.
"… fixed mass of a gas …" means that the number of molecules is constant.
"… temperature remains constant" speaks for itself.
a, c, and e are <em>wrong</em>, because pressure is a variable.
b is <em>wrong</em>, because volume is a variable.
