Answer:
Option A:
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
Explanation:
The half reactions given are:
Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)
Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)
From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).
While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.
Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)
2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
The compounds that are produced upon this combustion reaction would be Carbon Dioxide and water.
CO2 = Carbon and Oxygen
H2O = Hydrogen and Oxygen.
The exact molecular amounts or moles can be determined by balancing this combustion reaction.
near what like open flames? if so false unless it clarifies the solution requires alcohol then its a no go
Answer:
Option C. the sharing of electrons between atoms
Explanation:
Covalent bond is a type of bond in which the reacting element share their valence electrons in order to attain the noble gas configuration.
