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.

What is the Bronsted acid of H2PO4- + OH-. ---- HPO42- + H2O?​
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The bronsted- Lowry acid is H₂PO₄⁻

Explanation:

Bronsted-Lowry acid  donates a proton (H⁺)

H₂PO₄⁻ + OH⁻ → HPO₄²⁻ + H₂O

In the reaction above, H₂PO₄⁻ is donating the proton to OH⁻ resulting in H₂O and the deprotonated species. This makes it a bronsted-Lowry acid.

Water has a higher boiling point than acetone does. Which of the following statements about water and acetone in the liquid stat
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Water's boiling point is higher than acetone's one due to the stronger intermolecular forces it has in liquid phase.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since no options are given we can infer from the statement that due to water's higher boiling point than acetone we can conclude that when they are in liquid state, water has stronger intermolecular forces which allow its particles to be held in a stronger way in comparison to the acetone's molecules, for that reason, more energy will be required in order to separate them and promote the boiling process, which is attained via increasing the temperature. Besides, less energy will be required for the separation of the acetone's molecules in order to boil it when liquid, therefore, a lower temperature is required.

In such a way, we can sum up that water's boiling point is higher than acetone's one due to the stronger intermolecular forces it has in liquid phase.

Regards.

Is the reaction mg²⁺(aq) + h₂o(l) → mgo(s) + 2h⁺(aq) endothermic or exothermic?
aliya0001 [1]
<span>If energy is released, the reaction is exothermic. If energy is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic. Since heat is being absorbed in this reaction (to break down H2O into H2 and O), the reaction is endothermic.</span>

How many moles are in 135g of Teflon?
Oliga [24]

1.34 moles are in 135g of Teflon.

Explanation:

Molecular formula of teflon is (C2H4)n

mass of teflon = 135 grams

atomic mass of teflon = 100.01 gram/mole

number of moles of teflon = ?

Formula used to calculate number of moles in a substance is given as:

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

putting the values in the above equation:

number of moles = \frac{135}{100.01}

number of moles = 1.34 moles

Teflon is polymer which is used for making non-stick coating, in 135 grams of teflon there are 1.34 moles in it.
