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

Why do a car's tires need more air in the winter than they do in the summer?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.

Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.

Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.

Where is neon found in earth? South America? North America?
givi [52]
Neon is usually found in the form of a gas with molecules consisting of a single Neon atom. Neon is a rare gas that is found in the Earth's<span> atmosphere at 1 part in 65,000. I'm not 100% sure but i am pretty sure it is found in both places but more is in South America. Just incase, wait for someone else to answer.</span>

The isomerization of methylisonitrile to acetonitrileCH3NC(g)→CH3CN(g)is first order in CH3NC . The rate constant for the reacti
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Option E, Half life = 2.96\times 10^3\ s

Explanation:

For a first order reaction, rate constant and half-life is related as:

            t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

Where,

t_{1/2} = Half life

k = Rate constant

Rate constant given = 2.34\times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

=\frac{0.693}{2.34 \times 10^{-4}}=2.96\times 10^3\ s

So, the correct option is option E.
