For 1: The oxidation state of Mn is +4 and oxidation state of O is -2.

For 2: The oxidizing agent is H_2SO_4 and reducing agent is HBr.

Explanation:

For 1:

The oxidation state of oxygen is taken to be -2. To calculate the oxidation state of manganese, in a neutral manganese oxide compound, we take the oxidation state of manganese be 'x'.

$x+2(-2)=0\\\\x=+4$

Hence, the oxidation state of Mn is +4 and oxidation state of O is -2.

For 2:

Oxidizing agent is defined as the reagent which helps the other substance to get oxidized and itself gets reduced. The oxidation state gets reduced.

Reducing agent is defined as the reagent which helps the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. The oxidation state is increased.

In the given chemical equation:

$HBr+H_2SO_4\rightarrow SO_2+Br_2+H_2O$

On the reactant side:

Oxidation state of hydrogen = +1

Oxidation state of bromine = -1

Oxidation state of sulfur = +6

Oxidation state of oxygen = -2

On product side:

Oxidation state of hydrogen = +1

Oxidation state of bromine = 0

Oxidation state of sulfur = +4

Oxidation state of oxygen = -2

As, the oxidation state of sulfur is decreasing, it is undergoing a reduction reaction and hence is an oxidizing agent. And, the oxidation state of bromine is increasing, it is undergoing an oxidation reaction and hence is an reducing agent.

1) $Mn^{+4}O^{-2}_{2}$

Oxidation number of Mn +4,

oxidation number of O -2.

2) Oxidizing agent is H2SO4, or S⁺⁶, because oxidation number of S changes from +6 in H2SO4 to +4 in SO2.

Reducing agent is HBr, or Br⁻¹, because oxidation number of H changes from -2 in HBr to 0 in Br2.

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.
