Hydrogen gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.

Balanced molecular equation of sodim metal with hydrochloric acid:

2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → 2Na⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

Sodium is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Na) to oxidation number +1, hydrogen is reduced from oxidation number +1 to oxidation number 0 (hydrogen gas H₂).

Another example:

Balanced chemical equation: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Word equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen gas

The isotope tritium has a half-life of 12. 3 y. Assume we have 11 kg of the substance. How much tritium will be left after 51 y?

Mama L [17]

Half-life is a time in which the concentration of the substance gets reduced to 50% of the initial concentration. The number of tritium that will be left after 51 years is 0.624 kg.

<h3>What is an isotope?</h3>

Isotopes are chemical substances that have the same atomic number but different atomic mass because they have a different number of neutrons in the nuclei.

The half-life of the isotope, tritium is 12.3 years. Assuming we have 11 kg of substance and a number of years 51 years.

$11 \times 2 ^{\frac{-51}{12.3}} = 0.6239 \;\rm kg$

Therefore, the number of tritium that will be left after 51 years is 0.624 kg.

People in the United States know that water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. In Europe, people know that water boils at 100 degr

snow_tiger [21]

No, the water is not different it is just that the units of measurement in the US is different then those units in Europe. This is similar to how the US uses miles and Europe uses kilometers

A 14.4-gg sample of granite initially at 86.0 ∘C∘C is immersed into 24.0 gg of water initially at 25.0 ∘C∘C. What is the final t

kari74 [83]

Answer:

The final temperature of both substances when they reach thermal equilibrium is 31.2 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sample granite = 14.4 grams

Initial temperature = 86.0 °C

Mass of water = 24.0 grams

The initial temperature of water = 25.0 °C

The specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C

The specific heat of granite = 0.790 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the final temperature

Heat lost = heat gained

Qgranite = - Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(granite)*c(granite)*ΔT(granite) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒with m(granite) = the mass of granite = 14.4 grams

⇒with c(granite) = The specific heat of granite = 0.790 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT⇒(granite) = the change of temperature of granite = T2 - T1 = T2 - 86.0 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = 24.0 grams

⇒with c(water) = The specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of granite = T2 - T1 = T2 -25.0°C

14.4 grams * 0.790 * (T2 - 86.0°C) = -24.0 *4.18 * (T2 - 25.0°C)

11.376T2 - 978.336 = -100.32T2 + 2508

111.696 T2 = 3486.336

T2 = 31.2 °C

The final temperature of both substances when they reach thermal equilibrium is 31.2 °C
