After examining the bioplastics, one of your classmates says, "Isn't it amazing that we can use this natural product instead of a synthetic one?' Based one what you have learned, do you agree or disagree with your classmate? Choose the best answer and reasoning below.
I agree, bioplastics are made of all natural materials so they are a natural product
I agree, bioplastics do not harm the environment so they are a natural product.
I disagree, bioplastics are made from natural products, but are human-made through a chemical process so they are a synthetic product.
I disagree, bioplastics contain harmful chemicals and cause harm to the environment so they are a synthetic product.

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.
