When C₂H₄(g) reacts with H₂(g), the compound C₂H₆(g)

is produced, as represented by the equation above. The reaction is correctly classified as which of the following types?

• Acid-base, because two hydrogen atoms are donated to C₂H₄ (g)

  .

• Precipitation, because two reactant species form a single product.

• Decomposition, because pure H₂(g) is consumed.

• Oxidation-reduction, because H₂(g) is oxidized.

I₂(aq) + C₆H₈O₆(aq)→C₆H₆O₆(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq)

The compound C₆H₈O₆ reacts with I₂ according to the reaction represented by the equation above. The reaction is correctly classified as which of the following types?

• Acid-base, because H⁺ ions are produced.

• Precipitation, because there are only two reactants but there are three products.

• Double replacement, because both H and I appear as ions in the products.

• Oxidation-reduction, because I₂ is reduced.

Cu(s) + 4 HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2 NO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)

Each student in a class placed a 2.00g sample of a mixture of Cu and Al in a beaker and placed in a beaker and placed the beaker in a fume hood. The students slowly poured 15.0 mL of 15.8 M HNO₃(aq) into their beakers. The reaction between the copper in the mixture and the HNO₃(aq) is represented by the equation above. The student observed that a brown gas was released from the beakers and that the solutions turned blue, indicating the formation of Cu²⁺(aq). The solutions were then diluted with distilled water to known volumes.

Which of the following is true about this reaction?

• It is a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, because the solution is neutral at the end.

• It is a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, because HNO₃(aq) is a strong acid.

• It is a redox reaction, because Cu(s) is oxidized and H⁺(aq) is reduced.

• It is a redox reaction, because Cu(s) is oxidized and the nitrogen atom in NO₃⁻(aq) is reduced.
