What type of reaction is occurring in each step? some categories include: Bronsted-lowry acid-base, precipitation or redox.
PART A: Cu (s) + 2 NO3
- (aq) + 4 H+(aq) + 4 H2O(l) =[Cu(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + 2 NO2 (g)
PART B: [Cu(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)= Cu(OH)2 (s) + 6 H2O (l)
PART C: Cu(OH)2 (s)= CuO (s) + H2O (l)
PART D: CuO (s) + 2 H+ (aq) + 5 H2O (l) =[Cu(H2O)6]2+ (aq)
PART E: [Cu(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + Zn (s)= Cu (s) + Zn2+ (aq) + 6 H2O (l)
