Given the reaction: cu(s) + 4hno3(aq) → cu(no3)2(aq) + 2no3(g) + 2h2o(l )as the reaction occurs, what happens to copper?

1 answer:

6 0

From the reaction between Cu and HNO₃, the formed gas is NO₂ instead of NO₃. Hence the correct balanced equation would be,
Cu(s) + 4HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Here, Cu goes to Cu(NO₃)₂ by changing its oxidation number from 0 to +2 while NO₃⁻ goes to NO₂ by reducing its oxidation state from +5 to +4 . Hence Cu is oxidized by HNO₃ in the reaction.

A motor cyclist starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6m/s after travelling with uniform acceleration for 3s. What is his acce

choli [55]

Answer:

2m/s²

Explanation:

When an object starts or at its state of rest it has an Initial speed U = 0

Final speed = 6m/s

total time taken for the acceleration = 3s

Acceleration =?

Acceleration is the change in velocity (speed) with time

Time rate of change of velocity

Acceleration = Change in Speed(velocity)

Time taken

Hence,

Acceleration =  V - U 

a = 6 - 0

a = 6 

a = 2m/s²

The equilibrium constant for the gas-phase isomerization of borneol (c10h17oh) to isoborneol at 503 k is 0.106. a mixture consis

Dimas [21]

The solution is as follows:

K = [Partial pressure of isoborneol]/[Partial pressure of borneol] = 0.106

The molar mass of isoborneol/borneol is 154.25 g/mol

Mol isoborneol = 15 g/154.25 = 0.0972 mol
Mol borneol = 7.5 g/154.25 = 0.0486 mol

Use the ICE approach

borneol → isoborneol
I 0.0972 0.0486
C -x +x
E 0.0972 - x 0.0486 + x

Total moles = 0.1458

Using Raoult's Law,
Partial Pressure = Mole fraction*Total Pressure
[Partial pressure of isoborneol] = [(0.0972-x)/0.1458]*P
[Partial pressure of borneol] = [(0.0486+x/0.1458)]*P

0.106 = [(0.0972-x)/0.1458]*P/ [(0.0486+x/0.1458)]*P
Solving for x,
x = 0.0832

Thus,
Mol fraction of borneol = (0.0486+0.0832)/0.1458 = 0.904
Mol fraction of isoborneol = (0.0972-0.0832)/0.1458 = 0.096

The mass of .10 moles of iron is:

Stels [109]

Answer:

so mass in gram=560grams

Explanation:

number of moles=10moles

molar mass=56grams/moles

mass in gram of Fe=?

as we know that

$number of moles=\frac{mass in gram}{molar mass}$

evaluating the formula

number of moles×molar mass=mass in gram

mass in gram=10moles×56grams/moles

mass in gram=560grams

i hope this will help you :)

Would you expect a heavily crosslinked polyethylene that has a glass-transition temperature of 0°c to be an elastomer, a thermos

musickatia [10]

The heavily crosslinked polyethylene that has a glass-transition temperature of 0°c to be an thermoset (non-elastomer).

A cross-linked kind of polyethylene has been known as cross-linked polyethylene, sometimes known by the acronyms PEX, XPE, or XLPE. It must be primarily utilized in residential water piping, high tension electrical cable insulation, hydronic radiant heating as well as cooling systems, construction management pipework systems, and infant play mats.

Tanks composed of linear polyethylene as well as XLPE are both constructed using heated resins to produce cured plastic. But because of the variations in how they are produced, the polyethylenes they produce have extremely varied structural strengths. Simply put, cross-linking is just the creation of links between polymer chains.

Therefore, the correct answer will be option (a).
