Explain why copper 2 oxide is a base although it does not turn litmus paper to blue​

Chemistry
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Copper II oxide is a base but not an alkali. An alkali is a soluble base. Since Copper II oxide is not soluble in water then it is not an alkali.

Let us recall that the change of colour of litmus with an alkali requires the presence of water. In the absence of water, solid Copper II oxide does not turn red litmus paper blue.

The ability to turn red litmus paper blue is commonly observed with alkalis and Copper II oxide is not an alkali.

Also recall that since Copper II oxide is not soluble, hydroxide ions are absent hence Copper II oxide does not turn red litmus paper blue.

What is the oxidation state for a Mn atom?<br> (1) 0 (2) +7 (3) +3 (4) +4
ss7ja [257]

Answer : The correct option is, (1) 0

Explanation :

Oxidation state or oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with sign (+ and -) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

As per question, 'Mn' atom is a free element that means it is present in their elemental state then the oxidation state will be zero.

Hence, the correct option is, (1) 0

1. Replace ? with a whole number to make the statements true.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<span>1.) a. 20 ÷ 4 ? means ? × 4 = 20     </span>→ replace ? with 5.<span>
b. 2,725 ÷ 5 ? means ? × 5 = 2,725  </span>→ replace ? with 545<span>
c. ? ÷ 5 = 0 </span>→ replace ? with 0.

2) 1,475 / 25 = 59
They used 59 boxes for this year.

3) 18 per haircut ; 70 per perm
4,608 = 18h + 70(36)
4,608 - 2,520 = 18h
2,088 = 18h
2,088/18 = h
116 = h
Grace did 116 haircuts.

4) 575 + 13(118) = 575 + 1,534 = 2,109 total expense.

5) 2,240 miles / 320 miles = 7 tanks of gas used.
7 tanks * 39 = 273 cost of the gas used.
