The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the possible product obtained from the reduction of 1 mole of HNO₃ with the transfer of 4 moles of electrons, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO₃ In nitric acid (HNO₃), the oxidation state of nitrogen can be calculated as follows: - Let the oxidation state of nitrogen be \( x \). - The equation for the oxidation state is: \[ x + 1 + 3(-2) = 0 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ x + 1 - 6 = 0 \implies x - 5 = 0 \implies x = +5 \] ### Step 2: Understand the effect of electron transfer Since 4 moles of electrons are being added to HNO₃, the oxidation state of nitrogen will decrease. The initial oxidation state of nitrogen is +5, and adding 4 electrons will change the oxidation state: \[ \text{New oxidation state} = +5 - 4 = +1 \] ### Step 3: Identify the product with nitrogen in the +1 oxidation state Now we need to find a compound where nitrogen has an oxidation state of +1. We can analyze potential products: - **N₂**: The oxidation state of nitrogen is 0 (not possible). - **N₂O**: The oxidation state of nitrogen can be calculated as follows: \[ 2x + (-2) = 0 \implies 2x = 2 \implies x = +1 \quad (\text{possible}) \] - **NO**: The oxidation state of nitrogen is +2 (not possible). - **NH₃**: The oxidation state of nitrogen is -3 (not possible). ### Step 4: Conclusion The only compound where nitrogen has an oxidation state of +1 is N₂O. Therefore, the possible product obtained due to the reduction of HNO₃ with 4 moles of electrons is: \[ \text{Product} = N₂O \] ### Final Answer The possible product obtained due to the reduction of 1 mole of HNO₃ with 4 moles of electrons is **N₂O**. ---
