Question

17. Write the molecular balanced equation for the recovering of copper metal. 18. Write the complete ionic balanced equation for the recovering of copper metal. 19. Write the net ionic balanced equation for the recovering of copper metal. 20. What type of reaction is this

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

17. it goes from solid copper to aqueous copper:

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

18. complete ionic:

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

19. net ionic, must include only reacting species, so

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

20. this type of reaction is dissolution reaction(redox reaction)

copper reduced from Cu²⁺ to Cu.
