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

What state of matter has a definite shape and volume.
anastassius [24]

Solids have a definite shape and volume. They are always the same shape no matter what they are contained in; their volume is also the same because they don't change unless you add or take away from it.

____________________________________________________________

Liquids have an indefinite shape but definite volume. They expand to fill out the space they are contained in, but their volume doesn't change unless you take out or add more of the liquid.

Gases have an indefinite shape and volume. Gases expand to fill out the space they are in and also don't have a clear shape because they are not always in one form.

The balanced redox reactions for the sequential reduction of vanadium are given below.
Minchanka [31]

Answer : 0.0392 grams of Zn metal would be required to completely reduced the vanadium.

Explanation :

Let us rewrite the given equations again.

2VO_{2}^{+} (aq)+ 4H^{+}(aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow 2VO^{2+}(aq)+Zn^{2+}+2H2O(l)2VO^{2+}(aq)+ 4H^{+}(aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{3+} (aq)+Zn^{2+}+2H2O(l)

2V^{3+} (aq)+ Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{2+}(aq)+Zn^{2+}(aq)

On adding above equations, we get the following combined equation.

2VO_{2}^{+} (aq)+ 8H^{+} (aq) + 3Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{2+}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)+4H_{2}O(l)

We have 12.1 mL of 0.033 M solution of VO₂⁺.

Let us find the moles of VO₂⁺ from this information.

12.1 mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL}\times \frac{0.033mol}{L}=0.0003993mol NO_{2}^{+}

From the combined equation, we can see that the mole ratio of VO₂⁺ to Zn is 2:3.

Let us use this as a conversion factor to find the moles of Zn.

0.0003993mol NO_{2}^{+}\times \frac{3mol Zn}{2molNO_{2}^{+}}=0.00059895mol Zn

Let us convert the moles of Zn to grams of Zn using molar mass of Zn.

Molar mass of Zn is 65.38 g/mol.

0.00059895mol Zn\times \frac{65.38gZn}{1molZn}=0.0392gZn

We need 0.0392 grams of Zn metal to completely reduce vanadium.

How many grams are there in 1.1 x 1027 molecules of water (H2O)?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

C) 3.3 x 104 grams

Explanation:

1 mole of water contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms

1.1 × 10^27 atoms will contain;

1.1 × 10^27 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

= 0.1827 × 10^( 27 - 23)

= 0.1827 × 10^(4)

= 1.827 × 10³ moles of water.

To convert mole to mass in grams, we use the formula;

mole (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

Molar mas of water (H2O) = 1(2) of H + 16 of O = 18g/mol

mole = mass/molar mass

1.827 × 10³ = mass / 18

mass = 1.827 × 10³ × 18

mass = 32.886 × 10³

mass = 3.286 × 10⁴

mass = 3.3 × 10⁴ grams

Given the reaction: 4NH3 + 502 4NO + 6H2O
Ainat [17]

Answer:

\frac{4}{5} moles

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

      4NH₃   +  5O₂  →  4NO  +  6H₂O

The number of moles of O₂ that completely reacted is given as 1 mole

To solve this problem, we are going to use a stoichiometric approach from the balanced reaction equation:

         5 moles of O₂ will react completely to produce 4 moles of NO

        1 mole of O₂ will therefore react to produce  x mole of NO

               5x  = 4

                 x  = \frac{4}{5} moles of NO
