In this redox reaction, the Cu goes from oxidation state of (0) to (+2), therefore it oxidises. N in HNO₃ goes from oxidation state of (+5) to N in NO with oxidation state of (+2) and becomes reduced. 
Cu acts as the reducing reagent and HNO₃ is the oxidising agent.

Cu ---> Cu²⁺ + 2e  --1)

4H⁺ + 3e + NO₃⁻ ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
to balance the number of electrons , 1) x3 and 2) x2
3Cu ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 6e + 2NO₃⁻ ---> 2NO + 4H₂O 
add the 2 equations 
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ --->  3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O 
add 6 nitrate ions to both sides to add up to 8 and form acid with 8H⁺ ions
3Cu + 8HNO₃ --->  3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O 
Balanced equation for the redox reaction is as follows;
3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) → 3Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H₂O<span>(l)

NO has a coefficient of 2

Should industries releasing heavy metals into land and water ecosystem be penalized
sveta [45]

Yes, industries releasing heavy metals into land and water ecosystem be penalized.

Heavy metals are defined as the metals with high density in comparison to water, and presumably, linked with toxicity. The sources of heavy metals other industries include mining activities, waste dumps, untreated sewage etc.

Heavy metals are associated with numerous health issues and thus, are considered dangerous. World Health Organization has set limit on Heavy metals in drinking water. The limits are 3.0 milligram/liter for Zinc, 0.010 milligram/liter for Lead, Arsenic, Mercury and 0.003 milligram/liter for Cadmium.

Heavy metals are associated with disorders concerning gastrointestinal tract, respiratory organs, pulmonary organs, liver and brain. Thus, their discharge into water bodies results in direct or indirect consumption via aquatic food, water absorption by plants etc. The waste from industries should be treated before discharging into land or water bodies. Hence, the industries should definitely be penalized, if releasing heavy metals into land and water ecosystem.

Which statement accurately describes the reactants of a reaction? new substances that are present at the end of a reaction subst
Jobisdone [24]
Option (C) is the correct answer. In the chemical reaction, reactants are the starting elements or compounds which will chemically react and will form the products. Reactants are only present on the left hand side of the reaction and products are present on the right hand side of the reaction.

g The combustion of 1.877 1.877 g of glucose, C 6 H 12 O 6 ( s ) C6H12O6(s), in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 4.30
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

-2.80 × 10³ kJ/mol

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter (Qcal) and the heat released by the combustion of the glucose (Qcomb) is zero.

Qcal + Qcomb = 0

Qcomb = - Qcal [1]

We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.

Qcal = C × ΔT = 4.30 kJ/°C × (29.51°C - 22.71°C) = 29.2 kJ

where,

C: heat capacity of the calorimeter

ΔT: change in the temperature

From [1],

Qcomb = - Qcal = -29.2 kJ

The internal energy change (ΔU), for the combustion of 1.877 g of glucose (MW 180.16 g/mol) is:

ΔU = -29.2 kJ/1.877 g × 180.16 g/mol = -2.80 × 10³ kJ/mol

When 21.45 g of KNO3 was dissolved in water in a calorimeter, the temperature fell from 25.00°C to 14.14 °C. If the heat capacit

25.9 kJ/mol. (3 sig. fig. as in the heat capacity.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The process:

\text{KNO}_3\;(s) \to \text{KNO}_3\;(aq).

How many moles of this process?

Relative atomic mass from a modern periodic table:

  • K: 39.098;
  • N: 14.007;
  • O: 15.999.

Molar mass of \text{KNO}_3:

M(\text{KNO}_3) = 39.098 + 14.007 + 3\times 15.999 = 101.102\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

Number of moles of the process = Number of moles of \text{KNO}_3 dissolved:

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{21.45}{101.102} = 0.212162\;\text{mol}.

What's the enthalpy change of this process?

Q = C\cdot \Delta T = 0.505 \times (25.00 - 14.14) = 5.4843\;\text{kJ} for 0.212162\;\text{mol}. By convention, the enthalpy change \Delta H measures the energy change for each mole of a process.

\displaystyle \Delta H = \frac{Q}{n} = \frac{5.4843\text{kJ}}{0.212162\;\text{mol}} = 25.8\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.
