The following reaction does not proceed to a product: H2O + Cu --> no reaction. Why is that?

I think the correct answer would be because copper has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace the bonds in it. Substances that are not oxidizing do not react with copper since the redox potentials are very low. Hope this answers the question.

   The  reason why  H₂O +Cu  does   not  proceed to  a  product  is that  

copper  has  a   lower   activity  than  hydrogen  and  cannot  replace  it (answer  A)


<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Replacement reaction is type  of  a reaction in which  element react with compound  and take place of  another element  in that compound.

That  is the   more  reactive  element replaces  the less  reactive  element from it's compound.

<em>Since  H₂  is  more  reactive  than Cu  in  reactivity  series therefore   no reaction  occur  between  H₂O  +Cu  since   Cu cannot  replace H₂  from its  compound.</em>

What is the momentum of a 3 kg bowling ball moving at 3 m/s
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

<h2>9 kg.m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 3 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>9 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

PH is a logarithmic scale used to indicate the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+], of a solution: pH=−log[H+] Due to the autoioniz
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

  • A) pH = 2.42
  • B) pH = 12.00

Explanation:

<em>The dissolution of HCl is  HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻</em>

  • To solve part A) we need to calculate the concentration of H⁺, to do that we need the moles of H⁺ and the volume.

The problem gives us V=2.5 L, and the moles can be calculated using the molecular weight of HCl, 36.46 g/mol:

0.35g_{HCl}*\frac{1mol_{HCl}}{36.46g_{HCl}} *\frac{1molH^{+}}{1mol HCl} = 9.60*10⁻³ mol H⁺

So the concentration of H⁺ is

[H⁺] = 9.60*10⁻³ mol / 2.5 L = 3.84 * 10⁻³ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log (3.84 * 10⁻³) = 2.42

  • <em>The dissolution of NaOH is  NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻</em>
  • Now we calculate [OH⁻], we already know that V = 2.0 L, and a similar process is used to calculate the moles of OH⁻, keeping in mind the molecular weight of NaOH, 40 g/mol:

0.80g_{NaOH}*\frac{1mol_{NaOH}}{40g_{NaOH}} *\frac{1molOH^{-}}{1mol NaOH}= 0.02 mol OH⁻

[OH⁻] = 0.02 mol / 2.0 L = 0.01

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (0.01) = 2.00

With the pOH, we can calculate the pH:

pH + pOH = 14.00

pH + 2.00 = 14.00

pH = 12.00

if 315mL of 1.25 M iron(ii) sulfate is added to 405mL of.95 M ammonium phosphate, what is the limiting reactant
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

FeSO₄ is the Limiting Reactant

Explanation:

3FeSO₄(aq) + 2(NH₄)₃PO₄ (aq) => 3(NH₄)₃PO₄(aq) + Fe₃(PO₄)(s)

315ml(1.25M)FeSO₄ + 405ml(0.95M)(NH₄)₃PO₄

=> 0.315L(1.25M)FeSO₄       +      0.405ml(0.95M)(NH₄)PO₄

=> 0.394mole FeSO₄           +      0.385mole (NH₄)PO₄

Divide by respective coefficient => the smaller value is the Limiting Reactant.

=> 0.394/3 = 0.131                      => 0.385/2 = 0.193

Smaller value is associated with FeSO₄

∴the limiting reactant is FeSO₄.

Summery:

1. convert reactant quantities to moles

2. divide reactants by respective coefficients of balanced equation

3. note smaller value after dividing by respective coefficient => Limiting Reactant.

When a rain forest is slashed and burned, the local concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases. This is primari
tiny-mole [99]

The local concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases when rainforest is slashed and burned because there is less vegetation to use CO2 for photosynthesis.

<h3>WHAT IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS:</h3>
  • Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants obtain their food (glucose) using energy from sunlight.

  • Green plants in an ecosystem absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as one of the reactants of photosynthesis.

Therefore, this means that the local concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases when rainforest is slashed and burned because there is less vegetation to use CO2 for photosynthesis.
