In this redox reaction, the Cu goes from oxidation state of (0) to (+2), therefore it oxidises. N in HNO₃ goes from oxidation state of (+5) to N in NO with oxidation state of (+2) and becomes reduced.
Cu acts as the reducing reagent and HNO₃ is the oxidising agent.
oxidation half reaction
Cu ---> Cu²⁺ + 2e --1)
reduction half reaction
4H⁺ + 3e + NO₃⁻ ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
to balance the number of electrons , 1) x3 and 2) x2
3Cu ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 6e + 2NO₃⁻ ---> 2NO + 4H₂O
add the 2 equations
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O
add 6 nitrate ions to both sides to add up to 8 and form acid with 8H⁺ ions
3Cu + 8HNO₃ ---> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
Balanced equation for the redox reaction is as follows;
3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) → 3Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H₂O<span>(l)
NO has a coefficient of 2

Answer:
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
Explanation:
72.6g
The density formula is density equal mass divided by volume (d=m/v) to solve this you must get the mass by itself. You do this by multiply volume on both sides which then gets you density times volume equal mass. Then you can plug in the numbers which is 1.20g/mL x 60.5 mL the mL cancels out which leaves you with grams and thus you have 72.6g.
Answer:
pH = -log₁₀ [H⁺]
Explanation:
pH is a value in chemistry used in to measure solution trying to determine each quality, purity, risks for health of some products, etc.
As you write in the question, [H⁺] = 10^(-pH)
Using logarithm law (log (m^(p) = p log(m):
log₁₀ [H⁺] = -pH
And
<h3>pH = -log₁₀ [H⁺]</h3>
