Answer:
1. Cu
2. Cu
3. 2 electrons.
Explanation:
Step 1:
The equation for the reaction is given below:
3Cu(s) + 8HNO3(aq) -> 2NO(g) 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 4H2O(l)
Step 2:
Determination of the change of oxidation number of each element present.
For Cu:
Cu = 0 (ground state)
Cu(NO3)2 = 0
Cu + 2( N + 3O) = 0
Cu + 2(5 + (3 x -2)) =0
Cu + 2 (5 - 6) = 0
Cu + 2(-1) = 0
Cu - 2 = 0
Cu = 2
The oxidation number of Cu changed from 0 to +2
For N:
HNO3 = 0
H + N + 3O = 0
1 + N + (3 x - 2) = 0
1 + N - 6 = 0
N = 6 - 1
N = 5
NO = 0
N - 2 = 0
N = 2
The oxidation number of N changed from +5 to +2
The oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen remains the same.
Note:
1. The oxidation number of Hydrogen is always +1 except in hydride where it is - 1
2. The oxidation number of oxygen is always - 2 except in peroxide where it is - 1
Step 3:
Answers to the questions given above
From the above illustration,
1. Cu is oxidize because its oxidation number increased from 0 to +2 as it loses electron.
2. Cu is the reducing agent because it reduces the oxidation number of N from +5 to +2.
3. The reducing agent i.e Cu transferred 2 electrons to the oxidising agent HNO3 because its oxidation number increase from 0 to +2 as it loses its electrons. This means that Cu transfer 2 electrons.
Answer:
At a stream's headwaters, often high in the mountains, gradients are steep. The stream moves fast and does lots of work eroding the stream bed.As a stream moves into lower areas, the gradient is not as steep. Now the stream does more work eroding the edges of its banks.

Explanation:
P1= 44 kpa
P2= 50 kpa
V1= 4.50 L
V2= ?
P1 V1= P2 V2
44 × 4.50 = 50 × V2
198= 50 × V2
V2 = 198/ 50
V2= 3.96 L "the new volume"
solution:
You need to find the frequency, and they have already given you the wavelength. And since you already know the speed of light, you can use formula (2) to answer this problem. Remember to convert the nano meters to meters because the speed of light is in meters.
