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.

Based on the balanced chemical equation for the preparation of malachite, what is the composition of the bubbles formed when sod
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Carbon Dioxide = CO2

Explanation:

The synthesis of Malachite is seen in the chemical formula:

CuSO 4 . 5H2O(aq) + 2NaCO3(aq) --> CuCO 3 Cu(OH) 2 (s) + 2Na 2 SO 4 (aq) + CO 2 (g) + 9H 2 O(l)

The bubbles mentioned in the question hints that our interest is the compounds in their gseous phase  (g).

Upon examining the chemical equation, only CO2 is in the gaseous state and hence the only one that can be formed as bubbles,

Which statement describes the atoms in gas???
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Option-D : They move freely in all directions.

Explanation:

                  The physical properties of gases are well explained by Kinetic Molecular Theory. The key postulates of this theory are;

                             1) Composition: Gases are made up of small particles called molecules. The size of these molecules is very small as compared to the distance between molecules, therefore the actual volume of molecules is taken negligible as compared to volume occupied by them.

                            2) Intermolecular Forces: All the gas molecules present in a container behaves independently because they have no force of interactions between them Hence, the attractive forces are taken negligible or too little.  

                             3) Energies: Gas molecules have greater kinetic energy as compared to solids and liquids. Hence, The gas molecules move randomly. They collide with each other and with the walls of the container which causes pressure.

Conclusion:

                 Therefore, due to large spaces, no interactions, small sizes and high energies the gas particles move freely and there position is not stationary.
