<h3>
Answer:</h3>
CuO(s) + H₂(g) → Cu(s) + H₂O(l)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- Assuming the reaction is the reduction of CuO by H₂
- Then the balanced equation for the reaction is;
CuO(s) + H₂(g) → Cu(s) + H₂O(l)
- The equation shows the reducing property of hydrogen gas, such that hydrogen reduces metal oxides such as copper(ii)oxide to the respective metals.
- The law of conservation requires chemical equations to be balanced so as the mass of reactants will be equal to that of products.
- In this case; there is 1 copper atom, 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms on both side of the equation and thus the equation is balanced.
Answer: a. It receives a hydrogen ion.
Explanation: Base is a species which is capable of donating its negative quantity and accepting the positive one.
For example, ammonia is considered as a base because it is capable of donating its lone pairs of electrons and can accept an proton as well.
Here, out of the given options, Hydrogen
is a proton which is acting as a positive species and hydroxide ion
is a negative species.
Thus, option (A) is the correct answer as it will receive a hydrogen ion from another base making itself a conjugate acid.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
When we look at SO3 we will notice that the compound is trigonal planar and it is symmetric. This means that it has equal charge distribution hence its dipoles cancel out resulting in a zero net dipole moment.
However, COH2 is also trigonal planar but is non-symmetric. Hence, its dipole moments do not cancel out, hence the molecule has a resultant dipole moment and is a polar molecule
The term defined as the change in direction of light when it goes from one medium into a different medium is refraction.
Refraction is the change of direction on the propagation of a beam of light when it passes from a medium to other; this only happens when the light travels at different speeds in both media.
When a beam of light that travels in the air incedes in a slab of glass, part of the beam is reflected (bounces) and part is refracted (it penetrates in the glass and changes the angle).
Also,due to the different speeds of light in air and water, when a beam of light passes from air to water, it refracts.
Its already balanced, no balancing required
