Answer:
Mass = 6.538 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of zinc hydroxide produced = 9.65 g
Mass of zinc required = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Zn + 2MnO₂ + H₂O → Zn(OH)₂ + Mn₂O₃
Number of moles of zinc hydroxide:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 9.65 g/ 99.42 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.1 mol
now we will compare the moles of zinc and zinc hydroxide,
Zn(OH)₂ : Zn
1 : 1
0.1 : 0.1
Mass of zinc required:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.1 mol × 65.38 g/mol
Mass = 6.538 g
The rate of the backward reaction increases
Explanation:
It is evident that if the reaction is left to proceed spontaneously, the forward reaction is favored because it results in a decrease in pressure in the system (The total reactants have 5 moles and the products have 3 in total).
Increasing H₂O concentration is then reaction, therefore, stymies the forward reaction and favors the reserves reaction. This is because the reverse reaction will lead to reduced pressure.
Quartz is a substance because the material has uniform properties throughout and is held together via chemical bonds.
