<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is D. Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu

<u>Explanation:</u>

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. It is known as the reaction in which the exchange of electrons takes place.  

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species decreases.

From the given ionic reactions:

Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu

<u>On the reactant side: </u>

Oxidation number of Zn = 0

Oxidation number of Cu = +2

<u>On the product side: </u>

Oxidation number of Cu = 0

Oxidation number of Zn = +2

As the oxidation number of Zn is increasing from 0 to +2. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Similarly, the oxidation number of Cu is decreasing from +2 to 0. Thus, it is getting reduced. Therefore, forming a redox couple

Hence, the correct option is D. Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu

How many atoms are in the 1.5 moles of tin atoms?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

option C = 9.0 x 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Data Given:

no. of moles of tin (Sn) atoms = 1.5 moles

no. of tin (Sn) atoms = ?

Solution:

Formula used to find number of atoms

                  no. of moles = no. of atoms / Avogadro's number

Rearrange the above equation:

          no. of atoms =   no. of moles x Avogadro's number . . . . . . (1)

Where

Avogadro's number = 6.022 x 10²³

Put values in equation 1

           no. of atoms = 1.5 x 6.022 x 10²³

           no. of atoms = 9.033 x 10²³

Round the figure = 9.0 x 10²³ atoms

So option C is correct
