Coefficient 2 should be placed in the equation before the nitric acid in the reactant so that the chemical reaction becomes balanced.

The given chemical reaction is,

Zn + HNO3 --------> Zn (No3)2 + H2

Here, the elements Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen are unbalanced.

These elements are altogether found in HNO₃ on the reactant side and are found as nitrate and hydrogen gas on the product side.

To balance the equation, the coefficient 2 is to be added in the reactant side so that 2 moles of Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen would be balanced with 2 moles of Nitrate and two moles of Nitrogen.

On adding 2 on reactant side, we get

Zn + 2HNO3 -----------> Zn(NO3)₂ + H₂

This gives us a balanced equation and thus the equation could be balanced this way.

Therefore, coefficient 2 is to be added to make the equation to be balanced.

Archy [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of products is more than the energy of the reactants. In these reactions, energy is absorbed by the system.

The total enthalpy of the reaction (\Delta H) comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of reactants is more than the energy of the products. In these reactions, energy is released by the system.

The total enthalpy of the reaction (\Delta H) comes out to be negative.

On mixing of both solution we had observed that temperature of the resulting solution was lowered this is because the energy was absorbed during the chemical reaction.

A fossilized leaf contains 24% of its normal amount of carbon 14. how old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? use 5600 years as
sergij07 [2.7K]
The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years. 
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24% 
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
                     n = log 0.24/log 0.5
                        = 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
 = 11529.8 
 ≈ 11529 years
