Balance the following equation in acidic conditions. phases are optional.

1 answer:

4 0

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)

How is the rate of appearance of h2o related to the rate of disappearance of o2?

erastovalidia [21]

If we consider a combustion reaction of Methane:

The balanced equation is:

CH4 + 2O2 ---> 2H2O + CO2

The rate of appearance of H2O is rH2O, rate of disappearance of O2 is -rO2

(rH2O)^2 = (-rO2)^2
rH2O = -rO2

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3.77 mol K₃N

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of K₃N - 3(39.10) + 14.01 = 131.31 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 3.77 \ mol \ K_3N(\frac{131.31 \ g \ K_3N}{1 \ mol \ K_3N})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 495.039 \ g \ K_3N$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

1. a.) Calculate the wavelength of light which has a frequency of 5.25 x 10 14 Hz.

Scilla [17]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.71 × 10² nm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The product of wavelength and frequency of a wave gives the speed of the wave.

Therefore;

Velocity of wave = Wavelength × Frequency

c = f ×λ

In our case;

Frequency = 5.25 × 10^14 Hz

Speed of light = 2.998 × 10^8m/s

But;

λ = c ÷ f

= 2.998 × 10^8m/s ÷ 5.25 × 10^14 Hz

= 5.71 × 10^-7 m

But; 1 M = 10^9 nm

Therefore;

wavelength = 5.71 × 10^-7 × 10^9

= 5.71 × 10² nm

The wavelength of light wave 5.71 × 10² nm

Write the balanced electrochemical reaction for when zinc reacts with a copper solution. Label what is being oxidized and what i

Fed [463]

The balanced equation would be $Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}$

<h3>Electrochemical equations</h3>

Zn reacts with Cu solution according to the following equation:

$Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}$

In the reaction, $Cu^{2+}$ is reduced according to the following: $Cu^{2+} + 2 e^- -- > Cu$

While Zn is oxidized according to the following: $Zn - 2e^- --- > Zn^{2+}$

Thus, giving the overall equation of; $Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}$
