This problem can be solved by using oxidation states. The oxidation state is based on the electrons an atom loses or gain, or appears to use when forming compounds.To find the formula for Copper (I) Sulfide, we have to first consider the individual ions that come together to form it. Copper (I) is an ion of copper that has a charge of +1, i.e $Cu^{+}$ . Sulfur is an element in group 6 of the periodic table. The sulfur ion has a charge of -2, i.e $S^{2-}$ . To form Copper (I) Sulfide, which is electrically neutral, we need 2 Copper (I) ions and 1 sulfur ion.

$Cu_2S= 2Cu^+ 1S^-^2= 2(+1) + (-2) = 0$ .

The reaction is represented by the equation below

$2Cu^{+} +S^{2-}-->Cu_2S$ .

The correct answer is (C)

pychu [463]

Answer:

B) Pressure on the scale, not registered as weight.

Explanation:

This is because energy (derived from weight) becomes compiled on the tips of your toes, and therefore does not increase your weight, but simply the pressure at a smaller point

An astronaut on Pluto attaches a small brass ball to a 1.00-m length of string and makes a simple pendulum. She times 10 complet

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity at Pluto is 0.0597 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Length, L = 1 m

10 oscillations in 257 seconds

Time period, T = 257/10 = 25.7 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity is g.

Use the formula of time period of simple pendulum

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\25.7 = 2 \times 31.4\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\\\\g = 0.0597 m/s^2$

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wavecrest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 50.0 s. Thed

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

(a) T = 10 s

(b) f = 0.1 Hz

(d) v = 3.2 m/s

(e) Insufficient data

Explanation:

(a)

Time period is defined as the time interval required for one wave to pass. Therefore, the time period can be given as:

T = Period = Time Taken/No. of Waves

T = 50 s/5

T = 10 s

(b)

Frequency is the reciprocal of time period:

f = frequency = 1/T

f = 1/10 s

f = 0.1 Hz

(c)

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs:

λ = Wavelength = 32 m

(d)

Speed of wave is given by the following formula:

Speed = v = fλ

v = (0.1 Hz)(32 m)

v = 3.2 m/s

(e)

Amplitude cannot be found with given data.
