Question

The diagram shows the setup of an experiment. The observations of the experiment are listed in the table below the diagram. A beaker filled three-fourths with a liquid labeled colorless silver nitrate solution is shown. A small strip is shown inside the beaker. The strip is labeled copper strip. The title of the image is Experimental Setup. Experimental Observations Observation Description 1 Copper strip became thinner 2 Gray particles were deposited on the edge of the strip Which of the following is the correct explanation for one of the given observations? (4 points) Observation 2 is a result of nitrate ions moving into the solution. Observation 2 is a result of silver ions moving into the solution. Observation 1 is a result of copper atoms losing two electrons. Observation 1 is a result of silver atoms losing one electron.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Observation 1 is a result of the copper atoms losing two electrons. It came out as the right answer.

Answer 2

The answer is Observation 1 is a result of copper atoms losing two electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The electrons result in the color change of the copper strip, causing the gray particles to join onto the metal.
