2HCl (aq) + Zn²⁺ ⇒ ZnCl₂ + 2H⁺ Total Reaction
Leo goes Ger (Lose electron oxidize, Gain electron reduction)
Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇒ Zn Oxidation half-reaction
2H ⇒ 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ Reduction half-reaction
Answer:
b. Mg & Cl
a. transferred
46
Explanation:
Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals when electrons are transferred from one specie to another.
- The electrostatic attraction from the resulting ions forms the ionic bonds.
- A metal is electropositive and will readily donate electrons
- A non-metal is electronegative and will accept electrons.
- This creates two oppositely charge ions that attracts by means of ionic bonding.
Since Mg and Cl are the only metal - non-metal pair, and ionic bond will form between them.
2.
In the specie;
₄₇Ag¹⁺
47 is the atomic number of the element Ag.
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a specie in neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- When an atom loses electron, it becomes positively charged.
- Here Ag has lost one electron and then, the number of electrons becomes 46.
- The number of protons is still 47
the balanced chemical equation representing the reaction between represent sodium metal (Na) and chlorine gas (cl2) is as below
2 Na + Cl2→ 2 NaCl
2 moles of sodium metal ( Na) reacted with 1 mole of gas chlorine gas (cl2) and 2 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl)
3) The density of the water depends on the amount of salt on the water, therefore it is the
dependent variable
