Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:
</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq)
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.
Given a mole each for iron and magnesium, the number of atoms of each element is equal. Iron has a greater mass due to its greater molecular weight. The correct statement among the choices is D.
Answer:
0.144M
Explanation:
First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
HNO3 + KOH —> KNO3 + H20
From the equation,
nA = 1
nB = 1
From the question given, we obtained the following:
Ma =?
Va = 30.00mL
Mb = 0.1000M
Vb = 43.13 mL
MaVa / MbVb = nA/nB
Ma x 30 / 0.1 x 43.13 = 1
Cross multiply to express in linear form
Ma x 30 = 0.1 x 43.13
Divide both side by 30
Ma = (0.1 x 43.13) /30 = 0.144M
The molarity of the nitric acid is 0.144M
