Answer : The correct formula of copper(I) oxide is, (3) $Cu_2O$

Explanation :

Copper(I) oxide is an ionic compound because copper element is a metal and oxide element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

Positive ion is written first.
The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in-front of positive ions.

The charge on copper is (+1) and the the charge on oxide is (-2). The charges are not balanced. The charges are balanced by the criss-cross method.

Hence, the formula of copper(I) oxide is, $Cu_2O$

The answer is (3) Cu2O. Copper (I) has an oxidation state of +1 (that's what the "I" indicates). You can also think of this as copper (I) having a charge of +1. Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 (that's just a rule you have to know), and you can think of it as oxygen having a charge of -2. You need oxidation numbers in a neutral compound to add up to 0 (or charges in a neutral compond to add up to 0), so you need two Cu to balance the O, which is Cu2O.

Answer:

single replacement

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

single replacement = A reaction in which one element replaces a similar element in a compound. For example, a metal replaces an other metal.

The general form of a single-replacement (also called single-displacement) reaction is:

A+BC→AC+B

Decomposition = a reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. The general form of a decomposition reaction is:

AB→A+B

Synthesis = A reaction that occurs when one or more compounds combines to form a complex compound:

A + B → AB

Double replacement: a reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds.

The general form of a double-replacement reaction is:

AB+CD→AD+BC

Combustion reaction = a reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. Combustion reactions must involve O2 as one reactant.

The reaction Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

⇒ Does not involve O2 = NOT a combustion reaction

⇒ The compounds do not form a complex compound = NOT a synthesis

⇒ A compound does not break down into smaller substances = NOT a decomposition

⇒ There is a replacement between Zn and H. This is a single replacement, not a double replacement reaction.

Sloan [31]

he total number of each of the atoms on the left and the right are the same thus the reaction equation is balanced.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of mass?</h3>

The law of conservation of mass states that, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In view of the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants on the left-hand side must be the same as the total mass of products at the right hand side.

Thus is the total mass of the reactants and the products are not the same, it then follows that the reaction does not demonstrate the law of conservation of mass. In this case, the total number of each of the atoms on the left and the right are the same thus the reaction equation is balanced.
