CuO+H₂ → Cu +H₂O redox equation

Chemistry

Answer:

Cu   H₂O

Explanation:

CuO + H₂  -----> Cu + H₂O

Oxidation : Gaining of oxygen OR Losing of hydrogen

Reduction : Gaining of Hydrogen OR Losing of Oxygen

Here ,

CuO gets reduced [ it loses oxygen ] and become Cu

H₂ gets oxidized  [ it gains oxygen ] and becomes H₂O

Substance that gets oxidised = H₂

Substance that gets reduced = CuO

Also ,

Oxidising agent = substance that gets reduced = CuO

Reducing agent = substance that gets oxidized = H₂

Answer:

Cu⁺² + 2e⁻ → Cu

Explanation:

A redox reaction is the half-equation where the element is reduced (gains electrons).

Compounds always have to have oxidation numbers that add to 0.

Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.

Stand alone elements always have an oxidation number of 0.

Reactants

Because Copper's oxidation number + Oxygen's oxidation number = 0, and Oxygen's oxidation number = -2, we know Copper's oxidation number is +2.

H₂ has to have a net oxidation of 0, so Hydrogen's oxidation number is 0.

Products

Copper's oxidation number is 0 because it's a standalone element.

2 * Hydrogen's oxidation number + Oxygen's oxidation number = 0, so that means Oxygen's oxidation number is -2, and Hydrogen's is +1.

Because Copper's oxidation number went down from +2 to 0, that means it gained electrons and therefore was reduced. So your answer is:

Cu⁺² + 2e⁻ → Cu

Why are large differences in temperature between the wet bulb and dry bulb thermometers are possible only at higher temperatures
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

At constant vapor pressure, the relative humidity decreases as the temperature increases, therefore, at higher temperature the relative humidity is low and water readily evaporates from the wet bulb thermometer that results in the cooling of the bulb such that at a given ambient temperature the very low relative humidity results in very large differences between the temperatures of the wet bulb thermometer and that of the dry bulb thermometer and the wet bulb is observed to be the colder thermometer of the two
