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!

An explosion that releases great amounts of heat is an example of
Damm [24]
<span>An explosion that releases great amounts of heat is an example of an exothermic process. Any reaction that gives off or releases energy as light, electricity, heat, or sound is considered to be exothermic, with "exo" meaning "outside". An explosion is one of the most extreme cases of exothermic reactions.</span>

Is usually categorized to a specific area in the state known as a soil series
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Soil series as established by the National Cooperative Soil Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service are a level of classification in the USDA Soil Taxonomy classification system hierarchy. The actual object of classification is the so-called soil individual, or pedon.[1] Soil series consist of pedons that are grouped together because of their similar pedogenesis, soil chemistry, and physical properties. More specifically, each series consists of pedons having soil horizons that are similar in soil color, soil texture, soil structure, soil pH, consistence, mineral and chemical composition, and arrangement in the soil profile.[2] These result in soils which perform similarly for land use purposes.

hope its correct

Draw a structural formula for the alkene you would use to prepare the alcohol shown by hydroboration/oxidation.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because the image of the alcohol is missing. However, I will try give you a general picture of the reaction known as hydroboration of alkenes.

This reaction occurs in two steps. In the first step, -BH2 and H add to the same face of the double bond (syn addition).

In the second step, alkaline hydrogen peroxide is added and the alcohol is formed.

Note that the BH2 and H adds to the two atoms of the double bond. The final product of the reaction appears as if water was added to the original alkene following an anti-Markovnikov mechanism.

Steric hindrance is known to play a major role in this reaction as good yield of the anti-Markovnikov like product is obtained with alkenes having one of the carbon atoms of the double bond significantly hindered.
