The volume of oxygen, collected over water, is 185 ml at 25 degrees celsius and 600 torr. calculate the dry volume of the oxygen at stp
(for the question, you have to convert from ml to l, celcius to kelvin, and torr to atmospheres)

0.1593 L.

Explanation:

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

P₁V₁T₂ = P₂V₂T₁

P₁ = 600 torr/760 = 0.789 atm, V₁ = 185.0 mL = 0.185 L, T₁ = 25.0°C + 273 = 298.0 K.

P₂ (at STP) = 1.0 atm, V₂ = ??? L, T₂ (at STP = 0.0°C) = 0.0°C + 273 = 273.0 K.

∴ V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁ = (0.789 atm)(0.185 mL)(298.0 K)/(1.0 atm)(273.0 K) = 0.1593 L.

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
