They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
They are solid at room tempature
They have a high melting point
<span>0.925 grams if using hydrochloric acid in the reaction.
0.462 grams if using sulfuric acid in the reaction.
0.000 grams if using nitric acid in the reaction.
Assuming you're using HCl or a similar acid for this reaction, the equation for the reaction is:
Zn + 2 HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2
So each mole of zinc used, produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, or 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. So we need to look up the atomic weights of both zinc and hydrogen.
Atomic weight zinc = 65.38
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794
Moles zinc = 30.0 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.458855919 mol
Since we produce 2 moles of hydrogen atoms per mole of zinc, multiply by 2 and the atomic weight of hydrogen to get the mass of hydrogen produced. So
0.458855919 * 2 * 1.00794 = 0.92499847 grams.
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.925 grams.
To show the assumption of the acid used, the balanced equation for sulfuric acid would be
Zn2 + H2SO4 ==> Zn(SO4)2 + H2
Which means that for every mole of zinc used, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is generated (half that produced via hydrochloric acid).
If nitric acid were used, the reaction is
4Zn + 10HNO3 ==> 4Zn(NO3)2 + N2O + 5H2O
Which means that NO hydrogen gas is generated.
The only justification for assuming hydrochloric acid is used is that it's a fairly common acid that's easy to obtain. But as shown above with 2 alternative acids, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very dependent upon the exact chemical reaction occurring and asking "How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?" is a rather silly question unless you specify EXACTLY what the reaction is.</span>
Answer:
Physical Change
Explanation:
The bush is changing shapes, not changing what it is.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
You are missing the structure, therefore, I will do an example with one that I found on another place to try to explain.
This acid mechanism always involves carbocations, and positive charges, never negative because we are in acidic mediums.
In the first step, the lone pairs of the oxigen from the epoxide, substract one hydrogen of the reactant.
Second step, the lone pairs of the oxygen from the reactant, do a nucleophylic attack to the carbon of the epoxide. In this case, it will do it to the most substitued carbon.
Then, in the third step by acid base equilibrium, the hydrogen from the reactant that attacked, is substracted from the molecule by a molecule of water (We are in acid medium, therefore, there is traces of water) and the final structure is formed.
