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.

What is the mass of 2.70 ×10^22 molecules of NaOH (Molar mass = 40.0 g/mol)?
Viefleur [7K]
Data:
Molar Mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Solving: <span>According to the Law Avogradro, we have in 1 mole of a substance, 6.02x10²³ atoms/mol or molecules
</span>
1 mol -------------------- 6.02*10²³ molecules
y mol -------------------- 2.70*10²² molecules

6.02*10²³y = 0.270*10²³ 
y =  \frac{0.270*\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!10^{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!23}}{6.02*\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!10^{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!23}}
\boxed{y \approx 0.04\:mol}


Solving: <span>Find the mass value now
</span>
40 g ----------------- 1 mol of NaOH
x g ------------- 0.04 mol of NaOH

x = 40*0.04
\boxed{\boxed{x = 1.6\:g}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Answer:
The mass is 1.6 grams
