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.

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!

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The density of water is about 1.0 g/mL at room temperature.

Briefly explain how the density of an aqueous solution at room temperature can be significantly less than 1.0 g/mL.

Give an example of such a solution.

Explanation:

That means 1.0mL of water weighs ---- 1.0g

If any other aqueous solution which has mass less than 1.0g will have density less than 1.0g.

For example aqueous solution of sulfuric acid has density 0.98g/mL.

That means 1mL of sulfuric acid has mass 0.98g.

Is the reaction between methane and oxygen endothermic or exothermic? Explain why we burn fossil fuels, such as natural gas.
vladimir1956 [14]
The thing that governs whether a reaction is exothermic is the energy given out / used up to break / form the bonds in the reaction. 

<span>When two substances react, the bonds in those substances first break up, releasing energy, before re-forming in a different way, taking in energy. The nature of the bonds that are broken up and reformed determines whether more energy is given out (exothermic) or taken in (endothermic)</span>
