Answer:

                  Cu  +  4 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  2 NO₂  +  2 H₂O

Explanation:

Step 1: Write down the chemical formulas of given substances,

                                    Copper Metal  =  Cu

                                    Nitric Acid  =  HNO₃

                                    Copper (II) Nitrate  =  Cu(NO₃)₂

                                    Nitrogen Dioxide  =  NO₂

                                    Water  =  H₂O

Step 2: Write down the unbalance Chemical equation,

                         Cu  +  HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  NO₂  +  H₂O

Step 3: Balance Cu atoms on both sides;

The number of Cu atoms on both sides are same. Hence, there number will remain the same.

Step 4: Balance N atoms on both sides;

As there is 1 N atom on left hand side and 3 N atoms on right hand side, so we will multiply HNO₃ by 3 to balance N on both sides, hence,

                         Cu  +  3 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  NO₂  +  H₂O

Step 5: Balance O atoms on both sides;

As there are 9 O atom on left hand side and 9 O atoms on right hand side, so they are balance.

Step 6: Balance H atoms on both sides;

As there are 3 H atom on left hand side and 2 H atoms on right hand side, so we will multiply H₂O by 2 as,

                         Cu  +  3 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  NO₂  +  2 H₂O

By doing so the number of O atoms got imbalanced, so to balance O atoms again we will multiply HNO₃ by 4 as,

                         Cu  +  4 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  NO₂  +  2 H₂O

Now, The Cu and H atoms are balanced, and the O atoms are greater on left hand side and the N atoms are greater on right hand side, therefore we will multiply NO₂ by 2 to balance both N and O as,

                         Cu  +  4 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  2 NO₂  +  2 H₂O

What caused the dawn horse to go extinct??
Vikentia [17]
The "Dawn horses" were actually not related to horses! Recent studies of fossils found that "Dawn Horses" were buried in the same rock layers as modern horses! evolutionists were shocked at first but then decided that the "Dawn horse" was related to rabbits! Now to answer your question no one really knows why they went extinct. Evolutionist believe they changed into rabbits and Creationists (people who believe God created the universe and that evolution is incorrect) believe they died out due to climate changes after the global flood of Noah.

What transition energy corresponds to an absorption line at 527 nm?​
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

E = 3.77×10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of absorption line = 527 nm (527×10⁻⁹m)

Energy of absorption line = ?

Solution:

Formula:

E = hc/λ

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×  3×10⁸ m/s / 527×10⁻⁹m

E = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ Jm /527×10⁻⁹m

E = 0.0377×10⁻¹⁷ J

E = 3.77×10⁻¹⁹ J

Pls it’s urgent
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.02 moles.

Explanation:

volume of H₂ gas at R.T.P = 480 cm³

Where

R.T.P = room temperature and pressure

molar volume of gas at = 24000 cm³

no. of moles of hydrogen = ?

Solution:

formula Used

       no. of moles = volume of gas / molar volume

put values in above equation

         no. of moles = 480 cm³ / 24000 cm³/mol

         no. of moles = 0.02 mol

So,

no. of moles of hydrogen in 480 cm³ is 0.02 moles.
