Answer:

SO₃²⁻ + Cu²⁺ + 2OH⁻ ⟶ Cu + SO₄²⁻ + H₂O

Explanation:

I find that the easiest way to balance an equation in basic solution is first to balance as if it were in acid and then convert to base.

Your skeleton equation is

SO₃²⁻ + Cu²⁺ ⟶ SO₄²⁻ + Cu

1. Separate the reaction into two half-reactions

SO₃²⁻ ⟶ SO₄²⁻

Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu

2. Balance all atoms other than O and H

Done

3. Balance O

SO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⟶ SO₄²⁻

Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu

4. Balance H

SO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⟶ SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺

Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu

5. Balance charge

SO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⟶ SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu

6. Equalize electrons transferred

1 × [ SO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⟶ SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻]

1 × [ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu]

7. Add the two half-reactions

SO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⟶ SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻]

<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu                                       </u>

SO₃²⁻ + Cu²⁺ + H₂O ⟶ Cu + SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺

8. Convert to base

SO₃²⁻ + Cu²⁺ + H₂O ⟶ Cu + SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺

<u>             2H⁺ + 2OH⁻ ⟶ 2H₂O                      </u>

SO₃²⁻ + Cu²⁺ + 2OH⁻ ⟶ Cu + SO₄²⁻ + H₂O

The concentration of ozone in a sample of air that has a partial pressure of O3 of 0.33 torr and a total pressure of air of 695
Goryan [66]

Answer:

0.047 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Partial pressure of ozone (pO₃): 0.33 torr
  • Total pressure of air (P): 695 torr

Step 2: Calculate the %v/v of ozone in the air

Air is a mixture of gases. We can find the %v/v of ozone (a component) in the air (mixture) using the following expression.

<em>%v/v = pO₃/P × 100%</em>

%v/v = 0.33 torr/695 torr × 100%

%v/v = 0.047 %

How many Joules of heat would be required
mote1985 [20]

Heat would be required  : 1,670 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of H₂O=5 g

Required

Heat to melt

Solution

The heat to change the phase can be formulated :

Q = m.Lf (melting/freezing)

Lf=latent heat of fusion

The heat of fusion for water at 0 °C : 334 J/g

Input given values in formula :

\tt Q=5\times 334=\boxed{\bold{1,670~J}}

An isotope has an atomic number of 32 and contains 31 neutrons. What is the mass number of this isotope?
____ [38]
Mass Number quantifies the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. Electrons are so small that they do not even matter in the calculation. Protons and Neutrons are approximately 1 A. Atomic Number refers to where the atom is on the periodic table, such as Hydrogen being Atomic Number 1, but also quantifies the number of protons. In your situation the atomic number is 32 meaning it is Germanium but also meaning it has 32 protons. When we add the number of protons and number of neutrons to find the mass number we do 32 (protons) + 31 (neutrons) to get a total mass number of 63. 63 is your answer.
