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
<h3>Balanced equation :
2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that have single bonds in chains
General formula for alkanes :
Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)
So that the burning of ethane with air (oxygen):
2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)
or we can use mathematical equations to solve equilibrium chemical equations by giving the coefficients for each compound involved in the reaction
C₂H₆ (g) + aO₂ (g) ⟶ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (ℓ)
C : left 2, right b ⇒ b=2
H: left 6, right 2c⇒ 2c=6⇒ c= 3
O : left 2a, right 2b+c⇒ 2a=2b+c⇒2a=2.2+3⇒2a=7⇒a=7/2
Explanation:
Steps followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment are as follows.
- Used tongs or a test tube holder to hold materials over the Bunsen burner flame.
- Wore gloves and goggles.
- Made careful observations of the products and reactants.
- Did not smell the gases produced.
When we heat a test tube over bunsen flame then the tube gets hot and when we hold it with bare hands then out hands will burn. Therefore, it is advised to hold test tube with the help of tongs or a holder so that our hands did not burn.
We should also wear gloves and goggles so that any acid would not spill directly on our hands, skin and eyes as it can affect or damage the skin severely.
Careful observations were made so that correct calculations about the experiment can be carried out.
It is also advised that we should not smell the gases produced but gases move freely from one place to another in a laboratory or any where else.
So, we can try to avoid it by covering our mouth with a cloth but we cannot stop it. If we keep on inhaling the gases produced in a laboratory then it can also lead to severe disease or defect in the human body.
I would think the answer would be C. Based off of what I've learned and heard. Sorry if it's not the correct answer though.
