The bacteria move slower and also when refrigerated there is less liquid so mold is less likely to happen.

Equation: 3Cu(s) 8HNO3(aq) --&gt; 2NO(g) 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) 4H2O(l) In the above reaction, the element oxidized is ______, the reduci
igomit [66]

Answer:

1. Cu

2. Cu

3. 2 electrons.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

3Cu(s) + 8HNO3(aq) -> 2NO(g) 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 4H2O(l)

Step 2:

Determination of the change of oxidation number of each element present.

For Cu:

Cu = 0 (ground state)

Cu(NO3)2 = 0

Cu + 2( N + 3O) = 0

Cu + 2(5 + (3 x -2)) =0

Cu + 2 (5 - 6) = 0

Cu + 2(-1) = 0

Cu - 2 = 0

Cu = 2

The oxidation number of Cu changed from 0 to +2

For N:

HNO3 = 0

H + N + 3O = 0

1 + N + (3 x - 2) = 0

1 + N - 6 = 0

N = 6 - 1

N = 5

NO = 0

N - 2 = 0

N = 2

The oxidation number of N changed from +5 to +2

The oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen remains the same.

Note:

1. The oxidation number of Hydrogen is always +1 except in hydride where it is - 1

2. The oxidation number of oxygen is always - 2 except in peroxide where it is - 1

Step 3:

Answers to the questions given above

From the above illustration,

1. Cu is oxidize because its oxidation number increased from 0 to +2 as it loses electron.

2. Cu is the reducing agent because it reduces the oxidation number of N from +5 to +2.

3. The reducing agent i.e Cu transferred 2 electrons to the oxidising agent HNO3 because its oxidation number increase from 0 to +2 as it loses its electrons. This means that Cu transfer 2 electrons.

Why does graphite and diamond sublime?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The intermolecular bonding in the solid is van der Waals dispersion forces. That means that it will have a lower melting point than diamond or graphite where you have giant covalent bonding. In fact C60 sublimes at 800 K (527°C). Diamond and graphite sublime at around 4000 K.

How many grams of N2 gas are present in 1.13 L of gas at 2.09 atm and 291 K?
solong [7]

Answer:

Mass= 2.77g

Explanation:

Applying

P=2.09atm, V= 1.13L, R= 0.082, T= 291K, Mm of N2= 28

PV=nRT

NB

Moles(n) = m/M

PV=m/M×RT

m= PVM/RT

Substitute and Simplify

m= (2.09×1.13×28)/(0.082×291)

m= 2.77g

Paul [167]

Concept:

<em><u>Latent Heat of Vaporization</u></em>: It is defined as the amount of heat required to change the state of mater without changing of its temperature.

From the given question, the temperature at the boiling point remained constant despite the continued addition of heat by the Bunsen burner. <em>Actually,</em> this amount of heat is used by water to break the intermolecular bonds between the water molecules in the form of latent heat that converts the liquid state of water into vapor state of water.

Hence, the correct option will be d.<u>The energy was used to break the intermolecular bonds between the water molecules. </u>
