. In which reaction is nitric acid acting as an oxidising agent?
Talja [164]

Answer:

B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we should understand oxidizing agents as those substances able to increase the oxidation state of another substance, therefore, in B. reaction we notice that copper oxidation state at the beginning is zero (no bonds are formed) and once it reacts with nitric acid, its oxidation states raises to +2 in copper (II) nitrate, thus, in B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2 nitritc acid is acting as the oxidizing agent.

Moreover, in the other reactions, copper (A.), sodium (C. and D.) remain with the same initial oxidation state, +2 and +1 respectively.

Regards.

If an experiment calls for 0.200mole acetic acid (Hc2H3O2)how many grams of glacial acetic acid do we need?
bija089 [108]
<h3>Molar mass:-</h3>

\\ \sf\longmapsto HC_2H_3O_2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1u+2(12u)+3(1u)+2(16u)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1u+24u+3u+48u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 28u+48u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 76u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 76g/mol

  • No of moles=0.2mol
  • Given mass=?

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:Mass}{Molar\:Mass}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.2=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{76}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Given\:Mass=0.2\times 76

\\ \sf\longmapsto Given\:Mass=1.52g

scZoUnD [109]
When methane is burned with oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. If you produce 9 grams of water and 11 grams of carbon dioxide from 16 grams of oxygen, how many grams of methane were needed for the reaction? First you need to write a balanced chemical equation.

8. Based on the formula, predict whether each of the following compounds is primarily ionic or primarily covalent. a. sodium iod
Lina20 [59]

primarily ionic  include = sodium iodide( NaI) ,   calcium chloride  ( CaCl2)


primarily covalent    include  - Ammonia (NH3) , Methane ( CH4)  and  

                                                   Glucose  (C6H12O6)


Explanation

ionic  bond  is formed  when  there is complete transfer of electron between atoms. It occur  between metal  which  donate electrons and  a  non  metal which accept  electrons.

 for  example  in  formation  of CaCl2,   ca  donate  2 electron to 2  Cl atom, while  2 Cl atom accept the 2  electrons  to form ionic bond.

 Covalent bond  is formed  when two or  more  non  metal  form bond by sharing  electrons pairs.

For  example in NH3   3 pairs of electron are shared.  to form covalent bond.

determine whether the nucleus or the electron cloud contributes the most to the volume of an atom. Explain.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The electron cloud

Explanation:

<em>Rutherford’s gold foil experiment</em> showed that the atom consisted of a tiny nucleus inside of a much larger electron cloud.

The diameter of the electron cloud is about 50 000 times that of the nucleus.
