When Kay added 30 g of hydrochloric acid (HCl) to 65 g of Zn, bubbles appeared and a white precipitate, zinc chloride (ZnCl2) wa

s produced. She found that the mass of the zinc chloride was 63 g. Since the Law of Conservation of Matter stated that matter can't be created or destroyed, she was puzzled about the difference in mass. What is the best explanation for the missing 2 g?
A) 2 g of zinc disappeared.
B) 2 g of hydrogen gas were produced.
C) Kay didn't correctly mass the precipitate.
D) Kay didn't collect all of the precipitate.

B) 2g of hydrogen gas were produced...

Hello!

The best explanation for the missing 2 g is that B) 2 g of hydrogen gas were produced.

<h2>Why?</h2>

The reaction between Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Zn is the following one:

2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) → ZnCl₂(s) + H₂(g)

In this reaction, we can see that Hydrogen gas (H₂) is produced as well as Zinc chloride.

If the container was open to the environment, the gaseous H₂ that is produced in the reaction is lost and the mass that Kay records is only the mass of the Zinc Chloride.

Have a nice day!

For a principal quantum number n, how many atomic orbitals are possible?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The total number of orbitals for a given n value is n2.

Explanation:

For a hydrogen atom with n=1, the electron is in its ground state; if the electron is in the n=2 orbital, it is in an excited state.

For a particular reaction, Δ=−111.4 kJ and Δ=−25.0 J/K.
vichka [17]

Answer:

\Delta G =-103.95kJ

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the thermodynamic definition of the Gibbs free energy for a change process is:

\Delta G =\Delta H-T\Delta S

It is possible to plug in the given H, T and S with consistent units, to obtain the correct G as shown below:

\Delta G =-111.4kJ-(298K)(-25.0\frac{J}{K}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} )\\\\\Delta G =-103.95kJ

Best regards!

How much volume would a 834.01g pile of sugar have given that it has a density of 1.59g/mL?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

v = 534.5mL

m = 597.15g

Density = 9.23g/mL

Density = 9.125g/mL

Explanation:

Density = mass/ volume

For the first question

Density = 1.59g/mL

Mass = 834.01g

Volume = ?

Using the above formula we have 1.59 = 834.01/v

v = 834.01/1.59

v = 534.5mL

For the second question

Density =0.9167g/mL

Volume = 651.41mL

Mass =?

Using the above formula we have

0.9167 =m/651.41

Cross multiply

m = 0.9167 x 651.41

m = 597.15g

For the third question

Mass =803.44g

Volume=87.03mL

Density =?

Density = 803.44/87.03

= 9.23g/mL

For the fourth

Density = 56.85/6.23

= 9.125g/mL
