Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:
</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq)
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.
Answer: Statements (A), and (C) are correct.
Explanation:
The statements that are true are as follows.
- Particles in a liquid need to move more slowly in order to freeze.
When a liquid freezes the molecules get attracted towards each other. This attraction of particles occurs slowly. Hence, this statement is true.
- Attractive forces between the particles in a liquid are broken when a liquid boils.
When temperature is raised, the molecules in a liquid gains kinetic energy and start to move quickly in random directions. As a result, liquid state changes to gaseous state. Hence, this statement is true.
If the attractive force between gas molecules have to be increased, they should be moving slower instead because moving faster does not help attracting molecules together.
Hence, the statement particles in gas move fast enough to make more attractive forces when the gas condenses is not true.
Packing
Explanation:
Ionic crystals are brittle due to the tight packing of their crystals. This provides little to no mobility between one another.
- Brittleness implies having little to no elasticity.
- Ionic crystals are held together by strong crystal lattice forces
- These forces prevents crystals from freely rotating and moving space.
- It holds them rigidly and fixed in place.
- Ionic crystals are hard and held electrostatic forces.

For radioactive decay, we can relate current amount, initial amount, decay constant and time using:
N = No x exp(-λt)
Half-life = ln(2)/λ
λ = ln(2) / 5730
N/No = 80% = 0.8
0.8 = exp( -ln(2)/5730 x t)
t = 1844 years
Balanced equation :
Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)
Balancing a chemical equation :
A chemical equation shows us the substances involved in a chemical reaction - the substances that react (reactants) and the substances that are produced (products). In general, a chemical equation looks like this:
Reactant →Product
According to the law of conservation of mass, when a chemical reaction occurs, the mass of the products should be equal to the mass of the reactants. Therefore, the amount of the atoms in each element does not change in the chemical reaction. As a result, the chemical equation that shows the chemical reaction needs to be balanced. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the atoms involved in the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms in the products side.
