The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.
Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be
g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.
Water is formed when this happens
Answer:
Heat
Explanation:
explosions always make heat
Answer:
Redox reaction and single displacement
Explanation:
This reaction is first of all a redox reaction. A redox reaction is a reaction that involves both oxidation and reduction. Oxidation involves increase in oxidation number while reduction involves decrease in oxidation number.
Copper (Cu) had an oxidation number of "0" as a reactant but had an oxidation number of "2+" in the product [Cu(NO₃)₂] hence oxidation occurred.
Nitrogen (N) had an oxidation number of "5+" in the reactant (HNO₃) but had an oxidation number of "4+" in the product (NO₂) hence reduction also occurred.
Also, from the reaction, it can be deduced that copper (Cu) displaced hydrogen (H) from the nitric acid (HNO₃) solution to form copper (II) nitrate [Cu(NO₃)₂]. It should be noted that copper can displace hydrogen because it is higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series. Hence, this reaction can also be called a single displacement reaction. A single displacement reaction is a reaction in which an atom of an element replaces another atom in a compound (as seen in the equation given in the question).
