Option D : Cu^{2+}(aq)+2 e^{-}\rightarrow Cu(s)

Reduction take place when oxidation state of atom of an element decrease. Here, addition of electron/s takes place. Opposite to that in oxidation, oxidation state increases and here, loss of electron/s take place.

The balanced chemical equation is as follows:

2Al(s)+3Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(aq)+3Cu(s)

Here, oxidation state of Al changes from zero to +3 thus, it undergoes oxidation and oxidation state of Cu changes from +2 to zero thus, it undergoes reduction.

The half reactions will be:

Oxidation: Al(s)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3e^{-}

Reduction: Cu^{2+}(aq)+2 e^{-}\rightarrow Cu(s)

Therefore, option D is correct.

Which statement describes the bonds in iron sulfate, FeSO4?
Feliz [49]

___

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄, Fe and S have an ionic bond, while S and O have covalent bonds.

Elements form bonds to increase their stability. The main types of bonds are:

  • Metallic bonds: they are formed between metals and the electrons are in a delocalized cloud.
  • Ionic bonds: they are formed between metals (lose electrons) and nonmetals (gain electrons)
  • Covalent bonds: they are formed between nonmetals, which share electrons.

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄:

  • Fe is a metal and S a nonmetal, thus they will form ionic bonds.
  • S and O are both nonmetals, thus they will form covalent bonds.

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄, Fe and S have an ionic bond, while S and O have covalent bonds.
