The density can be calculated using the following rule:
density = mass/volume
therefore,
volume = mass/density
we have the mass=22 mg=0.022 grams and density=0.754g/cm^3
substituting in the above equation, we can calculate the volume as follows:
volume = 0.022/0.754 = 0.0291 cm^3
<u>61.25 grams</u> of CO can be formed from 35 grams of oxygen.
The molecular mass of oxygen is <u>16 gmol⁻¹</u>
The molecular mass of carbon monoxide is<u> 28 gmol⁻¹</u>
Explanation:
The molar mass of carbon monoxide is molar mass of C added to that of O;
12 + 16 = 28
= 28g/mol
The molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol while that of oxygen gas (O₂) is 32 g/mol
Since the ration oxygen to carbon monoxide is 1: 2 moles, we begin to find out how many moles of carbon monoxide are formed by 35 g of oxygen;
35/32 * 2
= 70/32 moles
Then multiply by the molar mass of carbon monoxide;
70/32 * 28
= 61.25 g
Answer:
The reducing agent is Zn.
Explanation:
Let's consider the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid.
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ⇄ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction, which can be divided in 2 half-reactions: reduction and oxidation.
In the reduction, H⁺ gains electrons and it is considered the oxidizing agent.
2H⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ H₂
In the oxidation, Zn loses electrons and it is considered the reducing agent.
Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻
