<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

Potassium chlorate (used in fireworks, flares, and safety matches) forms oxygen and potassium chloride when heated. KClO3(s) → K
Zina [86]

Answer:

10.3 g of oxygen are formed when 26.4 g of potassium chlorate is heated

Explanation:

This is the balanced equation:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

Ratio beteween the salt and oxygen is 2:3

Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/m

Let's find out the moles of salt

Mass / Molar mass

26.4 g /122.55 g/m = 0.215 moles

So, this is the final rule of three:

If 2 moles of KClO₃ make 3 moles of oxygen

0.215 moles of KClO₃ make  (0.215  .3) /2 = 0.323 moles of O₂ are produced

Molar mass O₂ = 32 g/m

Moles . molar mass = mass

0.323 m  . 32g/m = 10.3 g

Pls hurrry<br>what are greenhouse effect 1 paragraph and come friends
Kay [80]
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be, allowing life on Earth to exist.

Answer:

\large \boxed{1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2 }}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of copper(II) hydroxide

\text{Moles of Cu(OH)}_{2} = \text{23.45 g Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{97.562 g Cu(OH)}_{2}} = \\\\\text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}

2. Calculate the molecules of copper(II) hydroxide

\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}\\\\= 1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}\\\text{The sample contains $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.447 \times 10^{23}}\textbf{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{\mathbf{2}}}$}
