Which substance has a coefficient of 2 when you balance the equation for this redox reaction? cu(s) + hno3(aq) → cu(no3)2(aq) +

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

Sodium tert-butoxide (NaOC(CH3)3) is classified as bulky and acts as Bronsted Lowry base in the reaction. It is reacted with 2-c
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:but-1-ene

Explanation:This is an E2 elimination reaction .

Kindly refer the attachment for complete reaction and products.

Sodium tert-butoxide is a bulky base and hence cannot approach the substrate 2-chlorobutane from the more substituted end and hence major product formed here would not be following zaitsev rule of elimination reaction.

Sodium tert-butoxide would approach from the less hindered side that is through the primary centre and hence would lead to the formation of 1-butene .The major product formed in this reaction would be 1-butene .

As the mechanism of the reaction is E-2 so it will be a concerted mechanism and as sodium tert-butoxide will start abstracting the primary hydrogen through the less hindered side simultaneously chlorine will start leaving. As the steric repulsion in this case is less hence the transition state is relatively stabilised and leads to the formation of a kinetic product 1-butene.

Kinetic product are formed when reactions are dependent upon rate and not on thermodynamical stability.

2-butene is more thermodynamically6 stable as compared to 1-butene  

The major product formed does not follow the zaitsev rule of forming a more substituted alkene as sodium tert-butoxide cannot approach to abstract the secondary proton due to steric hindrance.
