Hi!


The correct option would be A.


This is because the displacement reaction would take place as follows

Ca + ZnCl2 --> CaCl2 + Zn


A displacement reaction is one in which a substitution occurs, as the more reactive element in the mixture replaces one that is less reactive.

In the electrochemical series, we find Ca higher than Zn, which is indicative of Ca being more reactive, and having the capacity to displace Zn to form a compound.


Option D would be incorrect as no such substitution occurs.

Option B would be incorrect because again, there is no substitution occurring, and also because two metals alone (Ca and Zn in our case) can never react to form a compound.

Option C would be incorrect because it is not possible because CaCl and ZnCl are forms that are too unstable to exist due to an overall positive charge.


Hope this helps!

What is the 10% rule? What is its significance? Why is energy lost?
TEA [102]
The 10% rule means that approximately there will be only 10% energy transferred from a trophic level into another. That was because the consumer on the upper level will use the energy before it was consumed. About 90% of the energy used so only 10% remain will be transferred.
Example: an antler eating grass with a total 100 calories. Then the antler is moving and growing, using 90 calories. Then a lion eats the antler, but the energy remains is only 10 calorie because 90 calories are already used.

Vitamin K is involved in normal blood clotting. When 0.802 g of vitamin K is dissolved in 25.0 g of camphor, the freezing point
xenn [34]

Answer:

Molar mass of vitamin K = 450.56\frac{g}{mol}[/tex]

Explanation:

The freezing point of camphor = 178.4 ⁰C

the Kf of camphor =  37.7°C/m

where : m = molality

the relation between freezing point depression and molality is

Depression in freezing point = Kf X molality

Where

Kf = cryoscopic constant of camphor

molality = moles of solute dissolved per kg of solvent.

putting values

2.69°C = 37.7°C/m X molality

molality = 0.0714 mol /kg

molality=\frac{molesofvitaminK}{massofcamphor(kg)}=\frac{moles}{0.025}

moles of vitamin K = 0.0714X0.025 = 0.00178 mol

we know that moles are related to mass and molar mass of a substance as:

moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}

For vitamin K the mass is given = 0.802 grams

therefore molar mass = \frac{mass}{moles}=\frac{0.802}{0.00178}=450.56\frac{g}{mol}

Use the following information S(s)+O2(g)→SO2(g), ΔH∘ = -296.8kJ SO2(g)+12O2(g)→SO3(g) , ΔH∘ = -98.9kJ to calculate ΔH∘f for H2SO

Answer : The enthalpy of formation of H_2SO_4 is, -812.4 kJ/mole

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation of H_2SO_4 will be,

S+H_2+2O_2\rightarrow H_2SO_4    \Delta H_{formation}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) S+O_2\rightarrow SO_2     \Delta H_1=-298.2

(2) SO_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow SO_3    \Delta H_2=-98.2

(3) SO_3+H_2O\rightarrow H_2SO_4    \Delta H_3=-130.2

(4) H_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow H_2O    \Delta H_4=-285.8

Now adding all the equations, we get the expression for enthalpy of formation of H_2SO_4 will be,

\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3+\Delta H_4

\Delta H=(-298.2)+(-98.2)+(-130.2)+(-285.8)

\Delta H=-812.4kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of H_2SO_4 is, -812.4 kJ/mole

What is the mass in grams of ba(io3)2 can be dissolved in 500 ml of water at 25 degrees celcius?
lesya [120]

The mass of Ba(IO3)2 that can be dissolved in 500 ml of water at 25 degrees celcius is 2.82 g

<h3>What mass of Ba(IO3)2 can be dissolved in 500 ml of water at 25 degrees celcius?</h3>

The Ksp of Ba(IO3)2 = 1.57 × 10^-9

Molar mass of Ba(IO3)2 = 487 g/mol?

Dissociation of Ba(IO3)2 produces 3 moles of ions as follows:

Ba(IO_{3})_{2} \leftrightharpoons Ba^{2+} + 2\:IO_{3}^{-}

Ksp = [Ba^{2+}]*[IO_{3}^{-}]^{2}

[Ba(IO_{3})_{2}] =  \sqrt[3]{ksp} =\sqrt[3]{1.57 \times  {10}^{ - 9} } \\  [Ba(IO_{3})_{2}] = 1.16 \times  {10}^{-3} moldm^{-3}

moles of Ba(IO3)2 = 1.16 × 10^-3 × 0.5 = 0.58 × 10^-3 moles

mass of Ba(IO3)2 = 0.58 × 10^-3 moles × 487 = 2.82 g

Therefore, mass Ba(IO3)2 that can be dissolved in 500 ml of water at 25 degrees celcius is 2.82 g.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Explanation:

21. Atoms are not created or destroyed means that atoms that you begin with are the atoms that you will end with. The catch is that the atoms will rearrange to give you new compounds, but the atoms that you initially had are the atoms you will still have after reaction. For eg, if you started with eggs and made omelet. Omelet is a "new" compound, but the atoms that were in the eggs have rearranged to become the omelet so can you see that atoms were not created or destroyed to make the omelet.

22. Yes because amount of products you make depends on how much reactants you have. For eg, I need two graham cracker(GC), one marshmallow(M), and one chocolate (C) to make a s'more. If I get more of each item then I can make more s'mores and consequently having minimum amounts results in less s'mores that I make.

23. Not possible, due to law of conservation of matter and energy. Atoms cannot be created nor be destroyed, they are simply rearranged. For eg, Taking A + B cannot give you a new compound with a chemical formula D or XZ. A + B can however give you AB which is rearrangement of the starting atoms.

24. Chemical equation is balanced when atoms on reactant side and atoms of product side are in equal counts. I have attached a graphic below for more help.
