Answer:

Cu

Explanation:

In the given reaction of the addition of copper to nitric acid,

Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) -> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

Cu or copper would be characterized as the reducing agent in this reaction. It is the chemical substance that is losing electrons and being oxidized due to this reduction/loss in this redox reaction as it is the metal that loses electrons by reacting with the non-metals.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

2994 kJ

Explanation:

When one mol of ethane (C₂H₆) is combusted, 1451 kJ of heat is exchanged.

First we convert 61.9 g of C₂H₆ into moles, using its molar mass:

  • 61.9 g ÷ 30 g/mol = 2.06 mol C₂H₆

Finally we <u>calculate how much heat is exchanged by the combustion of 2.06 moles of C₂H₆</u>:

  • 2.06 mol * 1451 kJ/mol = 2994 kJ

Iteru [2.4K]
Accurate data means the data experimentally obtained are close to the true value. Precise data means the data obtained are close to one another. In this case, the data are close to the true value which is 1.2 and the data are relatively close to one another. Hence the set is both accurate and precise.

Naddik [55]
The amount of substance present in a certain object with a given half-life in terms of h can be expressed through the equation,

     A(t) = (A(o))(0.5)^(t/h)

where A(t) is the amount of substance after t years and A(o) is the original amount. In this item we are given that A(t)/A(o) is equal to 0.89. Substituting the known values,

     0.89 = (0.5)(t / 5730 years)

The value of t from the equation is 963.34 years.
