I believe the answer is <span>can be elements or compounds
In this case, elements in the decomposition reaction is the substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances.
Compounds, technically act as a reactant in the decomposition reaction, but since the reaction breakdown one substance into two or more, sometimes it exists in the product.</span>
Reduction half reaction: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu⁰(s).
Oxidation half reaction: NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Balanced chemical reaction:
Cu²⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → Cu(s) + NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq).
Copper is reduced from oxidation number +2 (Cu²⁺) to oxidation number 0 (Cu) and nitrogen is oxidized from oxidation number +3 (in NO₂⁻) to oxidation number +5 (in NO₃⁻).
1Hz = 1 cycle per second
19 cycles / .5 seconds = 38Hz
