Why don't we use meters or miles when discussion distances between stars or galaxies?

1 answer:

4 0

If we use mile or something else it will be hard to measure in sky .
Because the mile or meters too short for the space,
Galaxy and stars are too long far away from us if we use mile or meter,
It till be take like miliion year to measure.

Identify the oxidized substance, the reduced substance, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent in the redox reaction. Cu(s)

spin [16.1K]

Answer: Copper is getting oxidized and is a reducing agent. Silver is getting reduced and is oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

$Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)$

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)$

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent.

Silver is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

What is the total number of oxygen atoms on the right-hand side of this chemical equation?

vivado [14]

The chemical equation is

Cu(s) +4HNO3(aq) ⇒ Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Answer:

Explanation:

In the right hand side of the equation, there are three compound which contains O2, which are;

Cu(NO3)2 , number of oxygen atoms =3*2 =6

2NO2, number of oxygen atoms = 2*2=4

2H2O, number of oxygen atoms =2*1=2

Total number of oxygen atoms on the right side of equation = 6+4+2 =12
