Answer:

a.  3.72 [atm]

Explanation:

For a gas at constant temperature, (with no change in number of molecules of the gas), we can apply Boyle's Law:  P_1V_1=P_2V_2

(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL])=P_2(112.4[mL])

\dfrac{(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}])}{112.4[mL \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}]}=\dfrac{P_2(112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----})}{112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----}}

3.716957[atm]=P_2

It seems like the answer should have 4 significant figures since all of the other quantities have 4 significant figures, but the closest answer choice of those provided is a.  3.72

125 grams of HCl are used. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g). What is the percent yield if 1.2 moles of hydrogen are actually
Blababa [14]

Answer:

70%

Explanation:

To find the percent yield, you need to (1) convert grams HCl to moles (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles HCl to moles H₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation), then (3) calculate the percent yield H₂ (via percent yield equation).

Zn (s) + 2 HCl (aq) --> ZnCl₂ (aq) + 1 H₂ (g)

Molar Mass (HCl): 1.008 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole
Molar Mass (HCl) = 36.458 g/mole

125 g HCl         1 mole HCl         1 mole H₂
---------------  x  ------------------  x  ------------------  = 1.7 moles H₂
                         36.458 g           2 moles HCl

(actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100% = percent yield

theoretical/calculated yield = 1.7 moles H₂
actual yield = 1.2 moles H₂

(1.2 moles H₂ / 1.7 moles H₂) x 100% = 71%

Therefore, the best percent yield of hydrogen produced is 70%.

Identify the oxidized substance, the reduced substance, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent in the redox reaction. Cu(s)
spin [16.1K]

<u>Answer:</u> Copper is getting oxidized and is a reducing agent. Silver is getting reduced and is oxidizing agent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent.

Silver is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

If a substance cannot be broken down chemically into a simpler substance what is it
Vikentia [17]

Answer: An Element

Explanation:

An element is a substance that cannot be split into smaller substance. It is made up of one kind of atom and can exist either as molecules  (e.g nitogen) or an atom (e.g argon).
