This is an oxidation reduction reaction
oxidation happens when the species gives out electrons.Oxidation state of the element Cu increases from 0 to +2
Cu  ---> Cu²⁺ +2e --1)
Reduction happens when the species gains electrons.
Oxidation state of N reduces from +5 to +2
4H⁺ + NO₃⁻ + 3e ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
To balance the reactions, number of electrons need to be balanced. 
Multiply 1st reaction by 3
Multiply 2nd reaction by 2
3Cu  ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ + 6e ---> 2NO + 4H₂O
add the 2 equations 
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ --> 3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O
add 6NO₃⁻ ions to each side 
3Cu + 8HNO₃ --> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
the balanced redox reaction equation is as follows;

3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) --> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq)+ 2NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)

Sodium metal and water react to create sodium hydrogen and hydrogen gas through the unbalanced equation.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 2.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium = 79.7 g

Mass of water = 45.3 g

Theoretical yield of hydrogen gas = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

Number of moles of sodium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 79.7 g / 23 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.5 mol

Number of moles of water:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 45.3 g / 18g/mol

Number of moles = 2.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen gas with water and sodium.

                        H₂O           :             H₂

                           2             :              1

                          2.5           :            1/2×2.5 =1.25 mol

                     

                           Na           :              H₂

                             2            :               1

                           3.5           :             1/2×3.5 =1.75 mol

water will be limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  1.25 mol  × 2 g/mol

Mass = 2.5 g

How do you find solubility? I am given only the temperature and the substance is KNO3. I don’t need anyone to solve it for me, j
skad [1K]
There’s no formula that relates solubility to temperature, but you can look up the solubility constant Ksp of substance given and then take the square root of that to find solubility.
