Balancing Chemical Equations: Can You Check My Work?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on balancing a chemical equation involving the formation of cupric hydroxide and cupric carbonate from copper, water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. The original skeletal equation presented is incorrect, particularly in the representation of products. The correct products should be Cu(OH)2 and CuCO3, indicating the oxidation states of copper as Cu(I) for cuprous and Cu(II) for cupric. Participants confirm that the user's understanding of the oxidation states is correct, but the skeletal equation needs revision for proper balance. Overall, the user is encouraged to adjust their equation for accuracy.

I was wondering if somebody could check these questions for me:

1. To get cupric hyroxide and cupric carbonate you coerce copper, water, carbon dioxide and oxygen reacting.

Word : copper + water + carbon dioxide + oxygen -----> cupric hydroxide +
cupric carbonate

Skeletal: Cu + H20 + CO2 + O2 ------> OH3 + CO3

I'm not really sure how to do the bolded ones.

Can someone tell me which parts I got right?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The RHS should be Cu(OH)_{2}+ CuCO_{3}
 
CuPROUS= Cu(I)

CuPRIC=Cu(II)
 
Thanks guys

Is the other stuff okay?
 
yes it is.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
