Cu2 -> Cu2+ is it getting oxidized?

Chemistry
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻  →  Cu   ( copper gets reduced )

Cu  → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (  copper gets oxidized )

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

ankoles [38]

In Lewis dot structures, you draw the atom in the center and then surround the atom with its valence electrons. The Lewis structure for O is as shown in the attached diagram.

<h3>What is the Lewis structure of O ?</h3>

Lewis Structure of an atom of oxygen contains 6 electrons in the valence shell. Four valence electrons exist in lone pairs. It implies that oxygen atom must participate in two single bonds or one double bond in order to have an octet configuration.

A simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule  is called Lewis Structure. It shows how electrons are arranged around individual atoms in the molecule.

Which laws can be combined to form the ideal gas law? Boyle’s law and Charles’s law Gay-Lussac’s law and Avogadro’s law Charles’
kolezko [41]
Ideal gas law is a combination of three gas laws, which are Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro's law. Ideal gas law states that PV = nRT, where:
P = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
n = no of moles of the gas
R = universal gas constant
T = absolute temperature in Kelvin
