Sulfite is similar to hydroxide in its behavior as a ligand: most sulfites are insoluble in water, but excess sulfite can result in the formation of a complex ion. Write the two equilibrium reactions of sulfite with the copper(II) ion that show this behavior.

Explanation:

A ligand may be defined as a molecule or an ion or that binds to the central metal atom in order to form a more coordination complex. Sulfite is one such ligand and it behaves similarly as hydroxide as a ligand.

Now, according to the question, when we react copper with sulfite ion, it forms copper sulfite. The equation is

Now when excess of the sulfite ion is used in the reaction, we get a complex formation, which is shown by

The way the sulfite reacts is quite similar to hydroxide ion where they form a complex ion when hydroxide ion in excess is used in the reaction with metal cation.

i believe it is-

d.) gravity pulled particles of dust and gas together to form planets.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
