Answer:
Cu
Explanation:
In the given reaction of the addition of copper to nitric acid,
Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) -> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
Cu or copper would be characterized as the reducing agent in this reaction. It is the chemical substance that is losing electrons and being oxidized due to this reduction/loss in this redox reaction as it is the metal that loses electrons by reacting with the non-metals.
Answer:
Eªcell > 0; n = 2
Explanation:
The reaction:
I2 (s) + Pb (s) → 2 I- (aq) + Pb2+ (aq)
Is product favored.
A reaction that is product favored has ΔG < 0 (Spontaneous)
K > 1 (Because concentration of products is >>>> concentration reactants).
Eªcell > 0 Because reaction is spontaneous.
And n = 2 electrons because Pb(s) is oxidizing to Pb2+ and I₂ is reducing to I⁻ (2 electrons). Statements that are true are:
<h3>Eªcell > 0; n = 2</h3>
1 W is equivalent to 1 J/s
So,
0.5 Wh = 0.5 (J/s) (h)
Converting h to s,
0.5 (J/s) (h) (60min/1h) (60s/1min) = 1800J
Thefore,
0.5Wh is 1800J or 1.8kJ of heat energy
