Answer from: boo3972

The pressure in mmHg is 1253 (option C)

Explanation:

Two quantities are directly proportional if when multiplying or dividing one of them by a number, the other is multiplied or divided by that number. In other words, the magnitudes are directly proportional when one magnitude increases and so does the other in the same proportion; or when one magnitude decreases and so does the other in the same proportion.

The rule of three or is a way of solving proportionality problems between three known values and an unknown value, which can be applied to directly proportional quantities as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So $x=\frac{c*b}{a}$

where a, b and c are data and x is the unknown value to be calculated.

In this case, knowing that 1 Torr = 1 mmHg, the rule of three can be applied as follows: if 1 torr is equal to 1 mmHg, 1253 torr is equal to how many mmHg?

$pressure=\frac{1253 torr*1 mmHg}{1 torr}$

pressure= 1253 mmHg

The pressure in mmHg is 1253 (option C)

answer: i would say b.

explanation:

Answer from: Quest

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( $n_2$ ) .

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.

The reactions shown here can be combined to make the overall reaction c(s) + h2o(g) ⇌ co(g) + h2(g) by reversing some and/or dividing all the coefficients by a number. a. c(s) + o2(g) → co2(g) k=1.363×10^69 b. 2 h2(g) + o2(g) → 2 h2o(g) k=1.389×10^80 c. 2co(g) + o2 (g) → 2 co2(g) k=1.477×10^90
