Which substance is the oxidizing agent in this reaction? 2CuO+C→2Cu+CO2 Express your answer as a chemical formula.

1 answer:

3 0

The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced in the reaction. In this reaction, the charge of Cu falls from +2 to zero charge (neutral atom in the right side). Hence, CuO is the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent, the one being oxidized is carbon from zero charge to +4. The answer is CuO.

Kemmi Major does some experimental work on the combustion of sucrose: C12H22O11(s) 12 O2(g) → 12 CO2(g) 11 H2O(g) She burns a 0.

Answer: $5.81\times 10^6J/mol$

Explanation:

Heat of combustion is the amount of heat released when 1 mole of the compound is completely burnt in the presence of oxygen.

$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}(s)+12O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+11H_2O(g)$

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.05392g}{342g/mol}=1.577\times 10^{-4}moles$

Thus $1.577\times 10^{-4}moles$ of sucrose releases = 916.6 J of heat

1 mole of sucrose releases = $\frac{916.6}{1.577\times 10^{-4}}\times 1=5.81\times 10^6J$ of heat

Thus ∆H value for the combustion reaction is $5.81\times 10^6J/mol$

How do you calculate the number of neutrons???? please help

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).

Pls hurrry what are greenhouse effect 1 paragraph and come friends

Kay [80]

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be, allowing life on Earth to exist.
