Write a balanced chemical equation describing the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid.

Chemistry

Explanation:

When zinc chemically reacts with hydrochloric acid in chemical reaction then it leads to the formation of zinc chloride along with evolution of hydrogen gas.

Chemical equation which represents this chemical reaction is as follows.

        Zn + HCl \rightarrow ZnCl_{2} + H_{2}

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

Zn = 1

H = 1

Cl = 1

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

Zn = 1

H = 2

Cl = 2

Hence, to balance this equation we will multiply HCl by 2 on reactant side. Therefore, the balanced chemical equation is as follows.

              Zn + 2HCl \rightarrow ZnCl_{2} + H_{2}

The chemical formula for zinc is Zn, and HCl for hydrogen chloride. The complete balanced equation for these reactants would be:

Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

The stoichiometric coefficient 2 for HCl is essential to obey the Law of Conservation of Mass. The elements before and after the reaction must be equal in amounts.

It is really easy if you look up an electron configuration table (one that looks like a periodic table) and then just go down the rows left to right, top to bottom, and just stop when you get to where the element is on the table.

Where, approximately, is the negative pole on each of these molecules?
Leni [432]

Orbital shell notation of fluorine is 2. 7 while that of oxygen s 2. 6. This means that these elements (that follow each other in the periodic table) will have high electronegativity in molecules due to their high atomic number (which causes them to strongly attract electron orbital shell closer to their nucleus). NB: Atomic number of a peroid increased from left to right of the periodic table.

Therefore, in the first molecule, the negative dipole would most likely be located between the F atoms In the second molecule the negative molecule would be most likely located in the between the O and F atoms.

Give an example of how environmental science might involve geology and chemistry.
Sever21 [200]
One of the examples is radiation and chemistry of water. Environmental science requires the capacity to integrate data from the greater part of the significant fields of science, and in addition from arithmetic. 
Geology is vital on the grounds that huge scale arrives forms make geology. The presence of mountains and valleys influences how much daylight and precipitation achieve the ground, how breezy an area is, the manner by which precipitation keeps running off, and numerous different variables that figure out what plants and creatures will have the capacity to occupy a district.
