Oxidation half reaction :- 

<span>Cu --------> Cu2+ + 2e- ...(1) </span>

<span>this is the balanced oxidation half reaction </span>

<span>b) reduction half reaction :- </span>

<span>NO3- -----------> NO </span>

<span>balance oxidation no. </span>

<span>NO3- + 3e- --------> NO </span>

<span>balance charge by adding H+ </span>

<span>NO3- + 3e- + 4H+ ---------> NO </span>

<span>now balance O and H atoms by addin H2O... </span>

<span>NO3- + 3e- + 4H+ ---------> NO + 2H2O....(2) </span>

<span>this is balanced reduction half reaction </span>

<span>multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by 2 and add </span>

<span>3Cu ---------> 3Cu2+ + 6e- </span>
<span>2NO3- + 6e- + 8H+ ---------> 2NO + 4H2O </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>

<span>6e- will cancel out fom both sides... </span>

<span>3Cu + 2NO3- + 8H+ ---------> 3Cu2+ + 2NO + 4H2O </span>

Benzene has a specific gravity of 0.88. if it was spilled in a river what would it do?
Gelneren [198K]
As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

Please answer for me thanks...
tatuchka [14]

Explanation:

Since mole ratio of O2 : NH3 = 7 : 4,

Volume of NH3 = 50dm³ * 4/7 = 28.57dm³.
