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.

A certain liquid has a density of 2.67 g/cm3. 30.5 ml of this liquid would have a mass of __________ kg.
8090 [49]
Hey there!

Density = 2.67 g/cm³

volume = 30.5 mL

Mass = density *volume

Mass = 2.67 * 30.5

Mass = 81.435 g

Therefore:

Mass in kg :

1 kg -------------- 1000 g
?? ----------------- 81.435 g

mass = 81.435 * 1 / 1000

mass = 0.081435 kg

The center on your school’s basketball team is 6 ft 10 in tall. How tall is the player in millimeters (mm)?
svp [43]

The answer is 6 ft 10 inches in millimeters (mm) is 0.833 ft.

Given,

The center of the school's basketball team is 6 ft 10 inches tall.

We have to convert the height of the player from feet and inches to feet.

Using the conversion factor,

1 ft = 12 inches

or, 12inches/ 1 ft

Converting 6ft 10 inches to ft, we get;

10 inches × 1 ft/ 12inches

= 0.833 ft

Therefore 6 ft 10 inches in millimeters (mm) is 0.833 ft.

Unit conversion is a method in which we multiply or divide with a particular numerical factor and then finally round off to the nearest significant digits.

The analysis of a compound containing K, P and O showed 55 % K, 15 % P and 30 % O, set up the simplest empirical formula of this
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Empirical formula is K₃PO₄.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of K = 55%

Percentage of P = 15%

Percentage of O = 30%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of K = 55 / 39.098 = 1.41

Number of gram atoms of P = 15 /30.974= 0.48

Number of gram atoms of O = 30 / 15.999 = 1.88

Atomic ratio:

             K                      :          P                   :         O

           1.41/0.48            :       0.48/0.48        :       1.88/0.48

               3                     :           1                    :            4

K : P : O = 3 : 1 : 4

Empirical formula is K₃PO₄.

the slowest step in a reaction mechanism requires the collision represented above to occur. Which of the following most likely i
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

D. The catalyst could absorb one of the particles, making a successful (reaction-producing) collision with the other particles more likely.

Explanation:

The way that a solid (heterogenous) catalysts functions is by the reactant getting adsorbed to the surface of the catalyst at active sites. An interaction between the surface of the catalyst and the reactant makes the reactants more reactive, causing the reaction to happen.
