Answer:
true
Explanation:
This is because it helps distribute the particles that are being dissolved.
The following Balanced Reaction will take place:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
In the question, we have 2 moles of Zinc and 3 moles of HCl for this reaction
<u>Amount of HCl required to completely react with 2 moles of Zn:</u>
Since we need 2 moles of HCl for every mole of Zn, we will need 2(2) = 4 moles of HCl for every 2 moles of Zn
<u>Identifying the Limiting Reagent:</u>
But we are only given 3 moles of HCl where we need 4 moles to completely react.
So, since HCl is in less amount, it is the Limiting Reagent
Take a look at their electronegativity values for this one. Electronegativity is the relative attraction that a atom in a molecule has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond<span>. Salt is Sodium Chloride which is NaCl. Na has an electronegativity value of 0.93. Cl has an electronegativity value of 3.16. The difference between the two is 2.23. This is much higher than 1.7 (a pure covalent bond e.g. Oxygen-Oxygen bond O2) therefore it is a highly ionic compound. If this was less than 1.7 it would be a polar covalent molecule. </span>
