Answer:Copper oxide + Hydrogen → Copper + Water

Copper sulfate + Zinc → Zinc sulfate + copper

Aluminium + Copper chloride → Aluminium chloride + copper

Copper + Oxygen → Copper oxide

Explanation:

Chemical reactions involves chemical combination of compounds or elements as reactants to form other compounds or elements.

In this case, various reactants given will react exhibiting different types of chemical reactions to form products.

First reaction

Aluminium + Copper chloride → Aluminium chloride + Copper

This is a single displacement reaction in which aluminium which is a more reactive element than copper displaces copper from its salt.

Second reaction

Copper oxide + Hydrogen → Copper + water

It is another example of a single replacement reaction. Hydrogen displaces less reactive metals from their oxide to form water and the metal.

Third reaction

Copper sulfate + Zinc → Zinc sulfate + copper

It is another single replacement reaction.

Zinc is more reactive than copper and therefore replaces copper from its salt solution.

Fourth reaction

Copper + Oxygen → Copper oxide

It is a synthesis reaction.

A synthesis reaction is a reaction in which elements or small compounds combine to form single compound.

one side of a cube measures 0.53 cm. the mass of the cube is 0.92 g. what is the density of the cube
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

6.17 g/cm³

Explanation:

Data given:

one side of cube = 0.53 cm

mass of the cube is 0.92 g

density of the cube = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate for volume the cube

As we know all the sides or edges of a cube are equal so volume equation will be

So,

    V = length x width x height

    V = e³

as on side = 0.53 cm

then

     V = (0.53 cm)³

     V = 0.149 cm³

Now we will calculate density of cube

To calculate density, formula will be used

             d = m/v . . . . . (1)

where

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

put values in above formula 1

                   d = 0.92 g / 0.149 cm³

                   d = 6.17 g/cm³

so. the density of cube = 6.17 g/cm³

How do properties of waves affect light and sound
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both light and sound can be described in terms of wave forms with physical characteristics like amplitude, wavelength, and timbre. Wavelength and frequency are inversely related so that longer waves have lower frequencies, and shorter waves have higher frequencies.
