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.
oxidation half reaction
Cu ---> Cu²⁺ + 2e  --1)
reduction half reaction 
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

Each molecule of testosterone contains 19 atoms of carbon (plus other atoms). The mass percent of carbon in testosterone is 79.1
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter E. 288.4 g/mol

Explanation:

Data

Number of carbons = 19

mass percent of carbon = 79.12

molar mass = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of 19 atoms of carbon

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 g

Atomic mass of 19 atoms of carbon = 228 g                            

2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of testosterone

                        228 g ---------------  79.12 %

                           x      --------------      100 %                          

                          x = (228 x 100) / 79.12

Simplify

                          x = 22800 / 79.12

Molar mass of testosterone = 288.2 g

What is the main function of the part labeled Yin the model?
NARA [144]

Answer:

The part labelled Y is the chloroplast and its main function is to produce food for the plant in the reactions of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophic organisms in that they are able to manufacture their own food. Plants are able to manufacture their own food due to the presence of the cell organelle known as the chloroplast.  The plant chloroplast has its own DNA and can reproduce independently, from the rest of the cell. They can as well produce amino acids and lipids required for the chloroplast membrane.

Chloroplasts are green-colored membrane-bound organelles found within the plant cell. Their green color is due to the presence of the pigment, chlorophyll. Chlorophyll in the chloroplasts are responsible for absorbing light energy from sunlight and using this absorbed energy to make simple sugars (carbohydrates) from carbon (iv) oxide and water. This is the main function of the chloroplasts in plant cells.

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts in two reaction steps:

1. The light reaction - involves the splitting of e=water molecules using the energy of sunlight

2. The dark reactions - carbon (iv) oxide from the air is used to produce sugars.

Compare the reactivity between lithium and sodium towards oxygen. ​
Scrat [10]
Reactivity of Group 1 and 2 elements increases as you go down the periodic table. So sodium is more reactive than lithium. Sodium will react with oxygen forming Na2O (sodium oxide). Lithium forms lithium oxide (Li2O).
