Correct answer, it's not a naturally occurring substance.

The reason why it is not considered this is because the material was made in a lab, not through nature, which is what is required to be considered as a true mineral.

Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid according to the reaction equation Zn ( s ) + 2 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ ZnCl 2 ( aq ) + H 2 ( g ) How ma
REY [17]

Answer:

34.7mL

Explanation:

First we have to convert our grams of Zinc to moles of zinc so we can relate that number to our chemical equation.

So: 6.25g Zn x (1 mol / 65.39 g) = 0.0956 mol Zn

All that was done above was multiplying the grams of zinc by the reciprocal of zincs molar mass so our units would cancel and leave us with moles of zinc.

So now we need to go to HCl!

To do that we multiply by the molar coefficients in the chemical equation:

\frac{0.0956g Zn}{1 } (\frac{2 mol HCl}{1molZn})

This leaves us with 2(0.0956) = 0.1912 mol HCl

Now we use the relationship M= moles / volume , to calculate our volume

Rearranging we get that V = moles / M

Now we plug in: V = 0.1912 mol HCl / 5.50 M HCl

V= 0.0347 L

To change this to milliliters we multiply by 1000 so:

34.7 mL

When metallic aluminum is added to a solution containing iron(II) sulfate a reaction occurs. What species is being oxidized in t
REY [17]

<u>Answer:</u> Aluminium is getting oxidized in the given chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

For the given chemical reaction:

2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.

What is the hybridization of carbon in nco-?
Svet_ta [14]

First let us see what kind of bonds are formed in the compound. By drawing the structure, we see that the kind of bonds are:

N =- triple bond -= C – O

<span>So there is only single bond between C and O therefore the hybridization of C is sp.</span>
