Solid aluminum is placed in a beaker with a blue solution of copper(II) nitrate. The resulting reaction causes the blue solution

to turn colorless. The solid aluminum is consumed while a spongy, dark brown solid forms. Based on the observations listed above, which of the following inference(s) would be valid?
A. A synthesis reaction occurred.
B. A single replacement reaction occurred.
C. A double replacement reaction occurred.
D. A redox reaction occurred.

Answer:

Option D. A redox reaction occurred.

Explanation:

From the question given above it evident that a redox reaction has occurred because there is a colour change when aluminum was introduced into the beaker containing blue solution of copper(II) nitrate.

The equation for the reaction is given below below:

2Al + 3Cu(NO3)2 —> 2Al(NO3)3 + 3Cu

The oxidation number of Al changes from 0 to +2 indicating oxidation and the oxidation number of Cu changes from +2 to 0 indicating reduction.

As the oxidation - reduction reaction occurs, a colour change is observed.

For a process Arightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoonB, at 25 °C there is 10% of A at equilibrium while at 75 °C, there is 80
Lostsunrise [7]

This question is describing the following chemical reaction at equilibrium:

A\rightleftharpoons B

And provides the relative amounts of both A and B at 25 °C and 75 °C, this means the equilibrium expressions and equilibrium constants can be written as:

K_1=\frac{90\%}{10\%}=9\\\\K_2=\frac{20\%}{80\%}  =0.25

Thus, by recalling the Van't Hoff's equation, we can write:

ln(K_2/K_1)=-\frac{\Delta H}{R}(\frac{1}{T_2} -\frac{1}{T_1} )

Hence, we solve for the enthalpy change as follows:

\Delta H=\frac{-R*ln(K_2/K_1)}{(\frac{1}{T_2} -\frac{1}{T_1} ) }

Finally, we plug in the numbers to obtain:

\Delta H=\frac{-8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} *ln(0.25/9)}{[\frac{1}{(75+273.15)K} -\frac{1}{(25+273.15)K} ] } \\\\\\\Delta H=4,785.1\frac{J}{mol}

Which of the following is not the same as 5.63 grams?<br> 5,630 mg<br> 0.563 hg <br> 0.00563 kg
Lady bird [3.3K]
Units of measure is defined as a the magnitude of a certain quantity. There are a lot of units that we can use for mass. Kilograms, grams, tons, pounds and slugs are some of the examples. There are some units where certain prefixes changes its magnitude. One thousand grams is one kilogram. One thousand mg is one gram. 5.63 grams is 5,630 mg and 0.00563 kg is 5.63 grams. Hence the answer here is 0.563 hg.

Depends, they are not too bad, but I wouldn't eat them anyway, even though they have supposedly 30% less fat they are still not good for you. Try eating a fruit or drinking a glass of water if you want to look out for your health!!
