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

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules of a substance are in constant random motion.

If an ideal gas is contained is a sealed rigid container, the average velocity of the gas molecules is dependent of the temperature of the gas.

Recall that temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.

Qué tipo de reacciones pertenecen las combustiones?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Si una reacción química libera energía, se llama reacción exotérmica. El ejemplo más común es la combustión, en la cual la energía se manifiesta en forma de calor y luz. Si, por el contrario, la reacción química requiere energía del medio para efectuarse, recibe el nombre de reacción endotérmica.

Challenge question: This question is worth 6 points. As you saw in problem 9 we can have species bound to a central metal ion. T
Llana [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron has the ground state electronic configuration [Ar]3d64s2

Fe2+ has the electronic configuration [Ar]3d6.

In an octahedral crystal field, there are two sets of degenerate orbitals; the lower lying three t2g orbitals, and the higher level two degenerate eg orbitals. Strong field ligands cause high octahedral crystal field splitting, there by separating the two sets of degenerate orbitals by a tremendous amount of energy. This energy is much greater than the pairing energy required to pair the six electrons in three degenerate orbitals. Since CN- is a strong field ligand, it leads to pairing of six electrons in three degenerate orbitals
