Answer:
None of these are correct, because there is no way to balance this equation, but I hope these steps help you figure out your answer.
Explanation:
Count out the single amounts of elements you have on both sides of the equation. To be balanced, you need to have the exact same for each element.
Before balanced Left side.
Cl-2
O-8
H-2
Before balanced right side.
H-1
Cl-1
O-3
That means we need to increase Hydrogen, Chlorine and Oxygen on the right for sure and see how that affects the equation. You can keep adding the Coefficients until the # of elements begin to match on each side.
(I tried to balance this equation, it doesn't work, there is too much on the reactants side for what the product is.)
Answer: 20 mg Te-99 remains after 12 hours.
Explanation: N(t) = N(0)*(1/2)^(t/t1/2)
N(t) = (80 mg)*(0.5)^(12/6)
N(t) = 20 mg remains after 12 hours
Answer:
Dihydrogen monoxide is one of the scientific names of water having the formula H2O, where H2 "dihydrogen" is a double hydrogen (Latin Hydrogenium — hydrogen), and O is "monoxide" (oxygen).
<span>0.925 grams if using hydrochloric acid in the reaction.
0.462 grams if using sulfuric acid in the reaction.
0.000 grams if using nitric acid in the reaction.
Assuming you're using HCl or a similar acid for this reaction, the equation for the reaction is:
Zn + 2 HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2
So each mole of zinc used, produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, or 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. So we need to look up the atomic weights of both zinc and hydrogen.
Atomic weight zinc = 65.38
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794
Moles zinc = 30.0 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.458855919 mol
Since we produce 2 moles of hydrogen atoms per mole of zinc, multiply by 2 and the atomic weight of hydrogen to get the mass of hydrogen produced. So
0.458855919 * 2 * 1.00794 = 0.92499847 grams.
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.925 grams.
To show the assumption of the acid used, the balanced equation for sulfuric acid would be
Zn2 + H2SO4 ==> Zn(SO4)2 + H2
Which means that for every mole of zinc used, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is generated (half that produced via hydrochloric acid).
If nitric acid were used, the reaction is
4Zn + 10HNO3 ==> 4Zn(NO3)2 + N2O + 5H2O
Which means that NO hydrogen gas is generated.
The only justification for assuming hydrochloric acid is used is that it's a fairly common acid that's easy to obtain. But as shown above with 2 alternative acids, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very dependent upon the exact chemical reaction occurring and asking "How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?" is a rather silly question unless you specify EXACTLY what the reaction is.</span>
