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.

Which of these has the most covalent character? <br> NaF Caf2 Bef2 CsF SrF2
Ksenya-84 [330]

Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.

Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.


Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond. <span>

A solution with a ph of 4 has _________ the concentration of h+ present compared to a solution with a ph of 5.
Marina CMI [18]
<span>A solution with a pH of 4 has ten times the concentration of H</span>⁺<span> present compared to a solution with a pH of 5.
</span>pH <span>is a numeric scale for the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is  the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions.
</span>[H⁺] = 10∧-pH.
pH = 4 → [H⁺]₁ = 10⁻⁴ M = 0,0001 M.
pH = 5 → [H⁺]₂ = 10⁻⁵ M = 0,00001 M.
[H⁺]₁ / [H⁺]₂ = 0,0001 M / 0,00001 M.
[H⁺]₁ / [H⁺]₂ = 10.

Consider this chemical reaction, where moving from left to right represents moving forward in time. A five panel comic strip. In
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The reaction reaches equilibrium at the fourth panel.

Explanation:

Chemical Equilibrium is achieved when the overall properties the system seem to be constant, that is, stop changing.

Although, for chemical equilibrium, the right term for this equilibrium is dynamic equilibrium; the rate of forward reaction balances the rate of backward reaction, but concentrations can keep changing.

The point where equilibrium is achieved is when exactly when we reach the panel where the spheres that make up this panel is the same as the next panel and the next, that is, the specific colour and number of spheres start to become unchanged.

And from the description given in the question,

- In the first panel, there are ten large red spheres.

- In the second panel, there are 8 large red spheres and two small blue spheres.

- In the third panel, there are six large red spheres and four small blue spheres.

- In the fourth panel, there are four large red spheres and six small blue spheres.

- In the fifth panel, there are four large red spheres and six small blue spheres.

It is evident that the make-up of the spheres have become the same as at the fourth and fifth panel. This means that the first point where this final configuration of spheres first appeared is the fourth panel.

Hence, equilibrium is first reached at the fourth panel.

Hope this Helps!!!

How much heat is released when 75 g of octane is burned completely if the enthalpy of combustion is -5,500 kJ/mol C8H18
AnnyKZ [126]
<span>Enthalpy change is the total heat that is absorbed or evolved in a certain reaction that is being carried in a constant pressure system. It can be calculated by the product of the specific heat of the substance and the difference of the final temperature and the initial temperature. For this case, the enthalpy of combustion is given, so we simply multiply the amount of octane present to the enthalpy given to determine the total heat that is released. 

Heat = 75 g ( 1 mol / 114.23 g ) (- 5500 kJ / mol ) = - 3611.14 kJ

The negative sign in the calculated value represents that this heat is being released in the process.</span>
