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!

Why is cellulose not a source of nutrients for humans? Humans cannot absorb the hydrolyzed form of cellulose. Humans, and most v
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is vertebrate enzyme hydrolyze alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkage but not glucose in the beta configuration.

Explanation:

The amylase that is present inside human body is called salivary alpha amylase,an enzyme that digest the alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages of starch but does not act on those glycosidic linkages which are present in beta configuration.

       Cellulose contain beta-1,4-glycosidic linkages.That"s why it is not digested by the alpha amylase enzyme present inside the human body basically present in the saliva.

How does velocity and mass affect momentum?
ollegr [7]

Velocity and mass are directly proportional to the quantity of momentum by:

p = mv. Therefore, and increase in either velocity or mass will lead to an increase in momentum and vice versa. Momentum during a reaction is always conserved, meaning that the mass and initial velocity before a reaction will always be equal to the change in mass and velocity produced after the reaction. Kinetic energy after a reaction, however, is not always conserved. For example if a fast moving vehicle collided with a stationary vehicle, and moved together, the overall kinetic energy would be after the reaction, as a heaver mass would be moved by the same velocity causing a decrease in kinetic energy.

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but in physics this is how it is understood.
