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.

Answer from: Quest

Answerthis solution will not form a precipitateexplanationsolubility equilbrium: pbf₂(s) ⇄ pb²⁺(aq) + 2 f⁻(aq)the solubility product expression is $k_{sp} = [\text{pb}^{2+}][\text{f}^- ]^2 = 4 \times 10^{-8}$ (we exclude solids from the equilibrium expression).now suppose we have the trial ion product q, which we can define as $q = [\text{pb}^{2+}]_{\text{initial}} \cdot [\text{f}^- ]^2_{\text{initial}}$ then, we can interpret q as the product of the concentration of the ions that we have and ksp as the product of the ion concentrations that are needed to form a saturated solution.if q > ksp, then that implies that there will be a surplus of ions that exceed the amount that is required to form a saturated solution. a precipitate will then form (the precipitate continually forms until the surplus ions are removed and q is decreased to ksp's value).if q = ksp, the saturated solution that forms is barely saturated and the precipitate will be minimal.if q < ksp, then the ion concentration will not be enough to form a saturated solution (so no precipitate).using our information, we calculate the trial ion product: $\begin{aligned} q & = [\text{pb}^{2+}]_{\text{initial}} \cdot [\text{f}^- ]^2_{\text{initial}} \\ & = (1.9 \times 10^{-3} ) (3.8\times 10^{3})^2 \\ & = 2.7 \times 10^{-8} \end{aligned}$ since q = 2.7 × 10⁻⁸ < ksp = 4 × 10⁻⁸, a precipitate will not form.

The image compares the arrangement of electrons in two different neutral atoms. a figure labeled atom q has a shaded sphere at the center of three concentric circles. the innermost circle has two black spheres. the middle circle has six black spheres. to the left of this figure is another figure labeled atom p. atom p has a shaded sphere at the center of three concentric circles. the innermost circle has two black spheres. the middle circle has seven black spheres. which of the following best explains the position of the two atoms in the periodic table? atom p has an estimated zeff of 7 and is therefore to the left of atom q, which has a zeff of 6. atom p has an estimated zeff of 7 and is therefore to the right of atom q, which has a zeff of 6. atom p has an estimated zeff of 5 and is therefore below atom q, which has a zeff of 4. atom p has an estimated zeff of 5 and is therefore above atom q, which has a zeff of 4.
