1) Zn(s) + 2 HO2CCH3(l) --> Zn(O2CCH3)2 + H2(g)

There are two half reactions:
Zn -->Zn (2+) + 2e-
2e- + 2 H+ --> H2

(the acetic acid ionized to form H+ and acetate- ions)


2) It's a red-ox (reduction-oxidation) reaction. The Zn gives up 2 electrons to the 2 hydrogen atoms. In general one element loses electrons and another gains electrons. The element gaining the electrons is the oxidizer and the element losing them is the reducing agent. The oxidizer becomes reduced and the reducing agent becomes oxidized.

3) Hydrocarbons and oxygen.

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2 This reaction is rapid, because HCl is a strong acid and provides more reactive H+ ions. The products are zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Zn + 2CH3COOH → Zn(CH3COO)2 + H2 This reaction is slower, because acetic acid is a weak acid. The products are zinc acetate and hydrogen gas.

So I would classify it as expeditious
Hope it helps!

What demonstrated Kinetic Energy
FrozenT [24]

Kinetic Energy Statement

Kinetic energy is energy that a body possess as a result of its motion. Kinetic energy as it is mathematically written is the "classic statement" of: Kinetic energy is equal to half the mass of an object times its velocity squared.

There are five types of kinetic energy: radiant, thermal, sound, electrical and mechanical. Let us look at some of the kinetic energy examples and learn more about the different types of kinetic energy.

Hope this helped!

How many moles of hydrogen are in 5.2 moles of C7H18
maksim [4K]
In one mole of C7H18 there are 18 moles of H (the number folowing the H)*
>> the ratio is 1:18

In 5.2 moles of C7H18 there are x moles of H
>> the ratio is 5.2:x

Cross multiply the two ratios
1x = 18×5.2
x = 93.6 moles of H

>> In 5.2 moles of C7H18 there are 93.6 moles of H




* This isnt a rule that you can always use.
However to find the mole of a certain element in a certain molucle all you have to do is count how many moles of the element are present in the molecule.
>> example1 >> H2O ;
2 H and 1 O

>> example2 >> CH3COOH ; [you add up all the moles of the same element]
(1+1) 2 C , (3+1) 4 H and (1+1) 2 O

>> example3 >> Mg(OH)2 ; [you multiply whetever is in parenthesis by the number after it 2] 1 Mg , (1×2) 2 O and (1×2) 2 H
