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!

The pictures are the answers
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

If the students want to know at what percent of CO2 in the air the plant will grow at the fastest, then the percent of CO2 should be a different value for each plant in the table.

There are 2 tables that have different values for the CO2 - the tables in answer choices C and D.

Since the students only want to know how the amount of CO2 affects the plant, every other variable should remain constant.

The only answer choice that has a changing value for the percent of CO2 and a constant value for every other variable is C.

How do you know flammability is a chemical property?
Reika [66]
Because flammable objects have certain substances, you know that it is a chemical property. For example, cloth is flammable and has a certain substance that MAKES it flammable. This results in a chemical property.

9. In a period, do the number of shielding electrons change? Why do you think
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases, but the number of inner shielding electrons stays the same.  

Explanation:

Their shielding does not change, so the effective nuclear charge — the charge felt by a valence electron — increases.

The valence electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus, decreasing the atomic radius.

For example, consider the elements of Period 3.

\begin{array}{ccccc}& & \textbf{Number of} & \textbf{Inner} & \textbf{Valence}\\\textbf{At. No.} & \textbf{Symbol} & \textbf{Protons} & \textbf{Electrons} & \textbf{Electrons}\\11& \text{Na} & 11 & 10 & 1\\12& \text{Mg} &12 & 10 & 2\\13& \text{Al} & 13 & 10 & 3 \\14& \text{Si} & 14 & 10 & 4 \\15& \text{P} & 15 & 10 & 5\\16& \text{S} & 16 & 10 & 6\\17& \text{Cl} & 17 & 10 & 7\\18& \text{Ar} & 18 & 10 & 8 \\\end{array}

The number of protons increases as you go from one element to the next, but the number of inner electrons is constant.
