Question

You find two containers on a chemical shelf, one labeled Cu2O(s) and a second labeled CuO(s). Are these substances the same or different explain.

Answer 1

Given :

Two chemicals $Cu_2O(s)$ and $CuO(s)$ .

To Find :

Are these substances same or different explain.

Solution :

It might seem that the difference is none because the atoms used in the molecules are same but in different proportion .

But , their is a lot of difference between them .

The change in configuration impacts a lot in physical as well as chemical properties .

For ex :

$Cu_2O$ is red powder while $CuO$ is black powder .

$Cu_2O$ is fungicide while $CuO$ is used in batteries .

Hence , this the required solution .
