If 26.2 grams of a pure compound contain 8.77 × 1022 molecules, what is the molecular weight of this compound? answer in units of g/mol.

Mw = 179.845 g/mol

Explanation:

∴ w = 26.2 g

∴ 1 mol = 6.02 E23 moleculesAvogadro's number

⇒N° moles = 8.77 E22 molecules * ( mol / 6.02 E23 molecules ) = 0.146 mol

⇒ Mw = 26.2 g / 0.146 mol = 179.845 g/mol

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.
