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.

Part C<br> Number of molecules in 8.437x10-2 mol C6H6
N76 [4]

Answer:

There are 5.08\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules of}\ C_6H_6  

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to find the number of molecules in 8.437\times 10^{-2} mol of C_6H_6.

The molar mass of C_6H_6 is 6\times 12+1\times 6=78\ g/mol

No of moles = mass/molar mass

We can find mass from above formula.

m=n\times M\\\\m=8.437\times 10^{-2}\ mol\times 78\ g/mol\\\\m=6.58\ g

Also,

No of moles = no of molecules/Avogadro number

N=n\times N_A\\\\N=8.437\times 10^{-2}\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\\\\N=5.08\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}

Hence, there are 5.08\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules of}\ C_6H_6
