Oxidation is the loss of electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons. The oxidizing agent is reduced. The reducing agent is oxidized. Cu goes from 0 to +2, it lost electrons S went from +6 to +4, it gained electrons I went from 0 to +5, it lost electrons N went from +5 to +4, it gained electrons.
Answer:
They use hypotheses to guess a result based on what they already know. Observations are used to record the results of an experiment. Predictions are used to have an expected outcome of a test, thinking the hypothesis is correct. Experiments are used to test the hypothesis.
The mass of hydrated salt - 2.123 g
mass of anhydrous salt - 1.861 g
mass that has been reduced is the mass of water that has been heated and lost from the compound thereby making the salt anhydrous.
therefore mass of water lost - 2.123 - 1.861 = 0.262 g
number of moles of water lost - 0.262 g / 18 g/mol = 0.0146 mol
number of moles of salt - 1.861 g / 380.6 g/mol = 0.00490 mol
molar ratio of moles of water to moles of salt
molar ratio = 0.146 mol / 0.00490 mol = 2.98 rounded off to 3
for every 1 mol of salt there are 3 moles of water
therefore empirical formula - Cu₃(PO₄)₂.3H₂O
I don’t care about it tbh like I don’t even care about that stuff but the answer is 29272728
1. its temperature will rise continuously until it melts
I don't believe that any of the other answers are correct because it can not stay at a certain temperature if it is melting
