More acid = more rapid reaction, so a and c are out. Powdered zinc has more surface area than a single lump of it. More surface area means more is exposed to the reaction, and you get a faster reaction. The answer is B. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Answer:

b)powdered Zn in 2.0 M HCl at 40°C

Explanation:

The rate of reaction increases with increase in temperature, increase in concentration of the reactant and increase in surface area. Powered Zn has a greater surface area than a lump of Zn. Also 40°C is a higher temperature than 25°C. Furthermore, 2 M HCl is a more concentrated acid than 1 M HCl. Considering the above three factors powdered Zn in 2.0 M HCl at 40°C will react the fastest.

Assume that the test tube shown started out having 10.00 g of mercury(II) oxide. After heating the test tube briefly, you find 1

anyanavicka [17]

This problem is providing information about the initial mass of mercury (II) oxide (10.00 g) which is able to produce liquid mercury (8.00 g) and gaseous oxygen and asks for the resulting mass of the latter, which turns out to be 0.65 g after doing the corresponding calculations.

Initially, it is given a mass of 10.00 g of the oxide and 1.35 g are left which means that the following mass is consumed:

$m_{HgO}^{consumed}=10.00g-1.35 g=8.65 g$

Now, since 8.00 grams of liquid mercury are collected, it is possible to calculate the grams of oxygen that were produced, by considering the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of the products equal that of the reactants as it is nor destroyed nor created. In such a way, the mass of oxygen turns out to be:

$m_{O_2}=8.65g-8.00g=0.65g$
