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.

Which of the following is not true of acids?
NeTakaya

Answer is: 2. dillute acids feel slipper.

1) Acids are corrosive is correct. For example hydrochloric acid (HCl) will react with most metals.

2) Dillute acids feel slippery is not correct. Bases, for example solution of sodium hydroxide feels slipery.

3) Acids have a distinctly sour taste is correct. For example, vinegar is mixture of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water (H₂O). Vinegar is colourless liquid with sour taste and pungent smell, freezing point of the vinegar is lower than glacial acetic acid.

4) Acids have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions is correct. Because acid gives a lot of hydrogen cations (H⁺), pH (pH = -log[H⁺]) is lower than seven (acidic solution).

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

About 170-180 grams of potassium nitrate are completely dissolved in 100 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the reported solubility data for potassium nitrate at different temperatures on the attached picture, it is possible to bear out that about 170-180 grams of potassium nitrate are completely dissolved in 100 g; considering that the solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a solvent, in this case water.

Best regards!
