The (II) is a roman numeral indicating the oxidation number of a transition metal. It is used when you refer to the element/compound by name but does not show up in the formula.

This is because... Oxygen has a valency of -2. When the elements react, their switch their valencies. The valency of copper goes to oxygen. And oxygen goes to Cu

Write an equation for the reaction of the Tollens reagent<br> withheptanal?
dangina [55]

Answer:

CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CHO + 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]+  3 H_2 O = CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 COOH +2Ag + 4NH_3

Explanation:

Tollens test is carried out to perceive difference between aldehydes and ketones on the basis of their capability to oxidized easily.

when Tollens react with aldehyde (heptanal) , a silver mirror is form on inner side of container.

The reaction between tollens and heptanal is given as

CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CHO + 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]+ 3 H_2 O = CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 COOH +2Ag + 4NH_3

Elza [17]

Answer:

The Cape Horn was one of the most important routes for maritime trade, leading to sailing vessels.

the difficulty of all this is that it presents great iceberg and climatic factors that do not help the boats. nowadays other commercial routes were created that made this channel only be transited by larger ships, or oil tankers.

Explanation:

Sailing in its waters is still considered one of the greatest nautical challenges, so there are various sporting and tourist events that use this route, some as part of the circumnavigation of the globe, among which are important yacht regattas, such as the Vendée Globe.

Applying the rules of significant figures, which of the following would be the correct value for the density of a substance whic
lilavasa [31]

16 g/ml

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 32.40 g

volume = 2.0mL

Required

Density

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

ρ = density  

m = mass  

v = volume  

Input the value :

ρ = 32.40 g / 2.0 ml

ρ = 16.2 g/ml

Rules for division: The least number of significant figures in the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

32.40 = 4 sig.fig

2.0 = 2 sig fig

The answer must be 2 sig fig

So the answer = 16 g/ml
