Copper does not react with hot water or steam
Lets assume x volume of NaOH and x volume of HCl are added together.
NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH⁻
NaOH is a strong base therefore it completely ionizes and releases OH⁻ ions into the medium
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
HCl is a strong base and completely ionizes and releases H⁺ ions in to the medium. number of NaOH moles in 1 L - 0.1 mol
Therefore in x L - 0.1 /1 * x = 0.1x moles of NaOH present
Similarly in HCl x L contains - 0.1x moles of HCl
H⁺ + OH⁻ ---> H₂O
Due to complete ionisation, 0.1x moles of H⁺ ions and 0.1x moles of OH⁻ ions react to form 0.1x moles of H₂O. Therefore all H⁺ and OH⁻are completely used up and yield water molecules.
Then at this point the H⁺ and OH⁻ ions in the medium come from the weak dissociation of water. This is equivalent to 1 x 10⁻⁷M
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log [10⁻⁷]
pH = 7
pH is therefore equals to 7 which means the solution is neutral
It is a metal

<u>Answer</u>:
A solid will melt at the temperature at which the kinetic energy breaks the
inter-molecular attractions.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The melting point is the state at which "a substance changes its temperature from a solid to liquid". At the melting point temperature, there is an equilibrium between the both the solid and the liquid phase. When the solid particle is heated by increasing the temperature the particle in the solid vibrate quickly and it absorbs kinetic energy.
It leads to the breaking of the organisation of particle in between the solid and that leads to the melting of solid. Thus, at the melting point, the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.
