So in this problem, your limiting reactant is the 5.00 mol of Zn, because you have an excess of hydrochloric acid.

The first step to answering this problem is to set up a balanced equation.
You start with Zn + HCl ⇒ ZnCl +H
In order to balance it, you have to know that Zinc is a +2 ion, Cl is a -1 ion, and H is a +1 ion. Each molecule must be balanced (meaning ionic charges equal to zero),  as well as the number of each element on either side of the reaction.
This gives you Zn + 2HCl ⇒ ZnCl₂ + 2H
Now, in order to find how much Hydrogen gas you have, you have to know how many atoms of Zn you have.
1 mol is 6.022 × 10²⁴ atoms (Avogadro's Number), so if you have 5 mol of Zn, you have 3.011 × 10²⁵ atoms of zinc.
Plug this into the reaction and re-balance the formula.
(3.011 × 10²⁵ Zn) + (6.022 × 10²⁵ HCl) ⇒ (3.011 × 10²⁵ ZnCl₂) +
(6.022 × 10²⁵ H)

You end up with (6.022 × 10²⁵ H), or 10.00 mol H (g)

the theoretical  yield   of  hydrogen gas is  10 g

   <u><em>calculation</em></u>

Step 1: write the equation for reaction

Zn + 2 HCl →  zncl₂  + H₂

Step 2: use the mole ratio to find the moles of H₂

from equation above Zn : H₂  is 1: 1 therefore the  moles of H₂ = 5.00 moles

Step 3: find the theoretical yield(mass) for H₂

mass = moles  × molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of H₂= 1×2  = 2 g/mol

mass  =  5  moles  × 2 g/mol  = 10 grams

How many total moles of ions are released when the following sample dissolves completely in water? Enter your answer in scientif
Katena32 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is 7.5\times 10^{-9}mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

Formula units are defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculate by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is 6.022\times 10^{23}

We are given:

Number of formula units of Sr(HCO_3)_2=4.55\times 10^{15}

As, 6.022\times 10^{23}  number of formula units are contained in 1 mole of a substance.

So, 4.55\times 10^{15} number of formula units will be contained in = \frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 4.55\times 10^{15}=7.5\times 10^{-9}mol of strontium bicarbonate.

Hence, the number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is 7.5\times 10^{-9}mol

Identify the following as either a chemical symbol or a chemical formula. CO Co W Be HI
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

CO is the chemical formula for carbon monoxide.

Co is the chemical symbol for cobalt.

W is the chemical symbol for tungsten.

Be is the chemical symbol for beryllium.

HI is the chemical formula for hydrogen iodide.

Explanation:

Chemical symbols are either written as a single uppercase letter (ex. O) or an uppercase letter and a lowercase letter (ex. Na).

Chemicals can be anything else! For example CO or even somthing like LiIO.

Briefly discuss interpretations of your observations and results. Discuss how your observations illustrated LeChatelier's princi
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Le Chatelier's principle can be applied in explaining the results

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a constraint such as a change in concentration in this case is imposed on a chemical system in equilibrium, the system will adjust itself in such a way as to annul the constraint imposed.

Hence, when the color of the solution was more like that of the control, the reaction would shift towards the left. Similarly, when the color was more like it was towards the reactant, the reaction would shift towards the right.

If we were to prepare calcium oxalate, we should prepare it in a base solution. This is because when the base was added to calcium oxalate, it did not form any precipitate but when an acid was added to the calcium oxalate, it formed a precipitate.
