Answer:

Hi! In this case, the reactioncan be correctly balance according to this: 2Al(s) + 3CuSO4(aq) –> Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3Cu(s).

Explanation:

In this particulary reaction,two semi-reactions happens.

One involving the metallic aluminum that suffers an oxidation reaction:

Al (s) -> Al3 + (aq) + 3e–

and another is a reduction reaction involving copper;

2e– + Cu2 + (aq) -> Cu (s)

Answer:

2Al(s) + 3CuSO4(aq). --------> Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3Cu(s)

Explanation:

This is a displacement reaction. Aluminum, being higher in the electrochemical series (higher electrode potential) displaces copper from its aqueous salt to give an aluminum salt and copper metal.

The equation is balanced with the formula of the products in mind. Since the products must be Al2(SO4)3 and 3Cu, then the stoichiometric coefficient of aluminum must be 2 on the reactant side and that of CuSO4 must be 3 on the reactants side.

This fulfils the general principle for balancing reaction equations which states that, the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation, must be the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation.

Like all equilibrium constants, Kw varies somewhat with temperature. Given that Kw is 3.31 × 10−13 at some temperature, compute

Artyom0805 [142]

Since Kw= [H⁺][OH⁻], and the concentration of both substances are the same, the equation is now Kw=[H⁺]²
So,
3.31x10⁻¹³ = [H⁺]²
Take the square root= 5.75x10⁻⁷
Then take the negative log to find the pH:
-log(5.75x10⁻⁷) = 6.25

Compared to the nonmetals in Period 2, the metals in Period 2 generally have larger

konstantin123 [22]

The answer is atomic radii; the size or radii of an atom increases from left to right, versus the ionization energies and electronegativities of atoms which increase from right to left.

Which agents cause both chemical and physical weathering

shutvik [7]

Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down by either physical or chemical means. Physical weathering involves physical factors that cause mechanical break down of rocks while chemical weathering involves chemical reactions between the contents of the rocks and other factors such air (oxygen). Agents of weathering are the factors that cause or enhance both physical and chemical weathering. Some of these factors cause both physical and chemical weathering these includes water and temperature.
