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

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<span>(l)

Here, Cu goes to </span>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.

Balance the following chemical
poizon [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

A chemical formula can be defined as a notation that is used to show which element and how many is contained in a chemical compound.

Also, in chemistry, the sum of charges of the anion and the cation of any ionic compound is always equal to zero.

A chemical equation is considered to be balanced when the amount of reactants on the left is equal to the amount of products on the right.

Therefore;

[2]FeBr3 + [3]Na2S → [1]Fe2S3 + [6]NaBr

In the above chemical equation, we will balance the reactants in the chemical equation with the smallest coefficients possible;

2FeBr_{3} + 3Na_{3}S ----> Fe_{2}S{3} + 6NaBr

Two (2) moles of Iron (III) Bromide reacts with two (2) moles of Sodium Sulfide to form Iron (III) Sulfide and Sodium Bromide.

Find out the reasons why hydrogen is not used as a fuel although it has very high calorific value.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Although hydrogen has the highest calorific value, it is not used as a domestic fuel. It is because hydrogen is a highly combustible and it reacts explosively when it comes in contact with air. And hence as a result, storing of the hydrogen gas is difficult and is dangerous at the same time.

Be sure to answer all parts. Fluoride ion is poisonous in relatively low amounts: 0.2 g of F− per 70 kg of body weight can cause
Stells [14]

Answer:

200 liters of fluoridated drinking water would have to be consumed by as person to reach the toxic level.

Explanation:

Toxic level of fluoride ions = 0.2 g per 70 kg body weight

Concentration of fluoride ions in drinking water = 1 mg/ L = 0.001 g/L

1 mg = 0.001 g

Let the volume of drinking water consumed by person to reach the toxic level of fluoride concentration be V.

For 70 kg body weight 0.2 grams of fluoride ions will be toxic.

V\times 0.001 g/L=0.2 g

V=\frac{0.2 g}{0.001 g/L}=200 L

200 liters of fluoridated drinking water would have to be consumed by as person to reach the toxic level.
