What are the similarities and differences for the properties of copper (II) sulphate and copper?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]2 years ago
3 0

It is to do with the ionisation of the atom. Copper is a metal, so it will lose electrons. When reacted with a non-metal, it will form an ionic bond.

In copper (I) sulphate, the copper ions have a charge of +1, ie they have lost ONE electron each.

Copper (I) sulphate has the chemical formula Cu2SO4. Each ionic bond involves two Cu+1 ions and a sulphate ion (SO4.

In copper (II) sulphate, the copper ions have a charge of +2, ie they have lost TWO electrons each.

Copper (II) sulphate has the chemical formula CuSO4. Each ionic bond involves a single Cu+2 ion and a sulphate ion (SO4).

So, really, it’s down to the chemical structure and the ionisation of the atom. Apart from the chemistry, copper (I) sulphate a very obscure chemical. Although, after a bit of googling, I have managed to find some info and vendors, it appears that this chemical is rarely seen and doesn’t have many practical uses.

Copper (II) sulphate, on the other hand, is incredibly common. It’s in every school chemistry lab. If someone says “copper sulphate” they will be talking about this chemical, not copper (I) sulphate. In pure form, it is a boring white powder, but when hydrated, it takes on it’s better known blue colour, with blue crystals and blue solution.

Hope this helps.

Which vein carries oxygenated blood back into the heart?
Finger [1]

Answer:

The veins that carry oxygenated bloof back into the heart are the pulmonary arteries.

Explanation:

Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.

What is the Nobel gas notation for selenium​
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Se =[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

Explanation:

The noble gas notation is used for the shortest electronic configuration of other periodic table elements.

For example:

The atomic number of Argon is 18, and its electronic configuration is,

Ar₁₈ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

The atomic number of selenium is 34, its electronic configuration is,

Se₃₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

By using the noble gas notation, electronic configuration of selenium can be written is shortest form.

Se =[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

This electronic configuration is also called abbreviated electronic configuration.

05. When a gold pebble is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 12.0 mL of water, the water level rises
OLga [1]

Answer:

142.82 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of water = 12 mL

Volume of water + gold = 19.4 mL

Density of gol= 19.3 g/cm³

Mass of gold =.?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the gold. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 12 mL

Volume of water + gold = 19.4 mL

Volume of gold =.?

Volume of gold = (Volume of water + gold) – (Volume of water)

Volume of gold = 19.4 – 12

Volume of gold = 7.4 mL

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the gold as follow:

Note: 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm³

Volume of gold = 7.4 mL

Density of gol= 19.3 g/cm³ = 19.3 g/mL

Mass of gold =?

Density = mass /volume

19.3 = mass of gold /7.4

Cross multiply

Mass of gold = 19.3 × 7.4

Mass of gold = 142.82 g

Therefore, the mass of the gold pebble is 142.82 g
