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.

Write balanced nuclear equations for the following:(a) β⁻ decay of silicon-32
S_A_V [24]

The balanced nuclear equations for the following:(a) β⁻ decay of silicon-32 is (27,14)Si -> (0,-1)beta + (27,15)P

<h3>What is balanced nuclear equation?</h3>

A nuclear reaction is generally expressed by a nuclear equation, which has the general form, where T is the target nucleus, B is the bombarding particle, R is the residual product nucleus, and E is the ejected particle, and Ai and Zi (where I = 1, 2, 3, 4) are the mass number and atomic number, respectively. Finding a well balanced equation is critical for understanding nuclear reactions. Balanced nuclear equations provide excellent information about the energy released in nuclear reactions. Balancing the nuclear equation requires equating the total atomic number as well as the total mass number before and after the reaction using the rules of atomic number and mass number conservation in a nuclear reaction.

Zinc has a specific heat capacity of 0.390 J/goC. What is its molar heat capacity? Enter your answer numerically to three signif
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The answer to your questions is  Cm = 25.5 J/mol°C  

Explanation:

Data

Heat capacity = 0.390 J/g°C

Molar heat capacity = ?

Process

1.- Look for the atomic number of Zinc

     Z = 65.4 g/mol

2.- Convert heat capacity to molar heat capacity

       (0.390 J/g°C)(65.4 g/mol)

- Simplify and result

   Cm = 25.5 J/mol°C
