Hey You!
Metal and Minerals may have survived 85 years of weather.
Answer:
B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we should understand oxidizing agents as those substances able to increase the oxidation state of another substance, therefore, in B. reaction we notice that copper oxidation state at the beginning is zero (no bonds are formed) and once it reacts with nitric acid, its oxidation states raises to +2 in copper (II) nitrate, thus, in B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2 nitritc acid is acting as the oxidizing agent.
Moreover, in the other reactions, copper (A.), sodium (C. and D.) remain with the same initial oxidation state, +2 and +1 respectively.
Regards.
Balanced equation: 2Fe + 3H2O → Fe2O3 +3H2
Convert g to mols:
285/55.845 = 5.1034 mols
Mole ratio of Iron and Iron (III) Oxide: 2:1
5.1034/2 = 2.5517 mols
Answer:
