Answer:
Explanation:
An atom is the smallest unit of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. Atoms (and there corresponding symbols) mentioned in the question are
Lithium ⇒ Li
Carbon ⇒ C
Nitrogen ⇒ N
Potassium ⇒ K
Oxygen ⇒ O
Iron ⇒ Fe
Chlorine ⇒ Cl
A compound is substance that contains two or more atoms that are chemically combined and can be represented with a chemical formula. The compounds (and there corresponding formula) mentioned in the question are
Water ⇒ H₂O
Edible salt (sodium chloride) ⇒ NaCl
Chalk (calcium carbonate) ⇒ CaCO₃
Lime (calcium oxide) ⇒ CaO
Iodides (such as sodium iodide and potassium iodide) ⇒ NaI and KI respectively
The most concentrated solution is b
Ammonium chloride is the correct name for NH4CL
Answer:
2Cu2^+ + 2I^- ----> 2Cu^+ + I2
Explanation:
The reaction performed in the experiment is;
2 Cu(NO3)2 + 4 KI → 2 CuI (s) + 4 KNO3 + I2
The iodide ions reduces Cu^2+ to Cu^+ which is insoluble in water hence the precipitate. This is so because iodine is a good oxidizing agent seeing that it requires one electron to fill its outermost shell. Potassium on the other hand is a good reducing agent since it easily looses its one electron.
The oxidation - reduction equation is as follows;
2Cu2^+ + 2e ----> 2Cu^+ reduction half equation
2I^- ----> I2 + 2e. Oxidation half equation
Balanced redox reaction equation;
2Cu2^+ + 2I^- ----> 2Cu^+ + I2
