Chemistry

vovangra [49]3 years ago

Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride

Explanation:

To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:

Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)

Cl = —1

Cu + 2(—1) = 0

Cu —2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 +2

Cu = +2

Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.

The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.

Which metal will react spontaneously with Cu2+ (aq) at 25°C?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Mg  

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

                                              <u>E°/V </u>

Au³⁺(aq ) + 3e⁻  ⟶  Au(s);     1.42

Hg²⁺(aq)  + 2e⁻  ⟶  Hg(l);     0.85

Ag⁺(aq)    +   e⁻  ⟶  Ag(s);    0.80

Cu²⁺(aq)   + 2e⁻ ⟶  Cu(s);   0.34

Mg2+(aq) + 2e- ⟶  Mg(s);   -2.38

The more negative the standard reduction potential, the stronger the metal is as a reducing agent.

Mg is the only metal with a standard reduction potential lower than that of Cu, so

Only Mg will react spontaneously with Cu²⁺.
