Copper oxide is the only product, and it contains copper and oxygen.

one of the reactants is copper, so the other reactant must be oxygen.

The copper metal must have combined with something in the air.

Answer:  The oxygen is coming from the atmosphere.

Explanation: After Nitrogen gas, the most abundant gas present in the atmosphere is oxygen gas which makes it available for the reaction.

The product which forms after the reaction between copper metal and oxygen gas is copper oxide which is a black color coating on the surface of the copper.

                          2Cu(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 2CuO(s)

When this copper oxide reacts with hydrogen gas, then the reaction among these two reactant gives copper metal and water as products.

                     CuO(s)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow Cu(s)+H_{2}O(g)

From the above reaction, the formation of water shows that the oxyegn atom came from CuO.

Jamal is working with three ionic compounds: sodium chloride, calcium sulfide, and barium oxide. His teacher asks him which are
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

option A is correct  ( sodium, calcium and barium)

Explanation:

Given compounds:

Sodium chloride , calcium sulfide, barium oxide

We know that metals form positive ions. In order to solve the problem we must identify the metals from given compounds.

Na⁺Cl⁻

Ca²⁺S²⁻

Ba²⁺O²⁻

We can see that sodium, calcium and barium contain positive charges.

Thus option A is correct.

Because sodium have one valance electron. When it combine with chlorine sodium lose its one electron to complete the octet and chlorine accept it to complete its octet. Thus sodium form positive ion and chlorine form negative ion.

Similarly barium and calcium are present in group 2. Both have two valance electron. When they lose them cation are formed.

Other option are incorrect because,

Option B have sulfur and oxygen which are anion.

Option C have chlorine which is also anion

Option D have chlorine, sulfur and oxygen that are anions.

Which option accurately describes the first two stages of photosynthesis?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer;

A) Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic compounds such as simple sugars together with release of oxygen.

-The process occurs in tow stages; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. During light dependent stage, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms. In the light independent stage carbon (iv) dioxide is fixed and the result is organic compound; the light energy is converted to chemical energy.
