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.

Find the density of Liquid A: Liquid A: Mass-138g Volume – 100 mL.
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>1.38 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass of liquid = 138 g

volume = 100 mL

The density of the liquid is

density =  \frac{138}{100}  = \frac{69}{5 0}

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.38 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

How do white blood cells fight pathogens?
jonny [76]
White blood cells work in two ways; they can ingest or engulf pathogens and destroy them by digesting them. White blood cells can also produce antibodies to destroy particular pathogens by clumping them together and destroying them. They also produce antitoxins that counteract the toxins released by pathogens.

Missing question: <span>A 5.00 L sample of O2 at a given temperature and pressure contains a 1.08x10^23 molecules. How many molecules would be contained in each of the following at the same temperature and pressure? </span>
a) 5.00 L H2.
<span>b) 5.00 L CO2.
Use </span>Avogadro's Law: The Volume Amount Law: <span>equal </span>volumes<span> of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same </span>number<span> of molecules. Because hydrogen and carbon(IV) oxide are gases, number of molecules are the same as number of oxygen molecules, so:
a) N(H</span>₂) = 1.08·10²³.
b) N(CO₂) = 1.08·10²³
