Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g) 
Oxidation means lose of electrons and increase of positive charge so the part which oxidized in this equation is Zn(s) because it converted to Zn²⁺ (i.e. lost two electrons)

Answer: Zinc (Zn)

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow ZnCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of zinc = 0

Oxidation state of hydrogen = +1

On product side:

Oxidation state of zinc = +2

Oxidation state of hydrogen = 0

The oxidation state of zinc increases from 0 to +2, it is getting oxidized and it undergoes oxidation reaction.

The oxidation state of hydrogen decreases from +1 to 0. Thus, it is getting reduced and it undergoes reduction reaction.

A piece of silver is observed to be scratched bent and coated with tarnish. which is the chemical change?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Silver consists of 92.5% silver, and the remaining part is copper. ... Pure silver is not susceptible to tarnish in a pure oxygen environment. However, the copper that is contained in 925 sterling silver may react to the ozone and hydrogen sulfide in the air and cause sterling silver to tarnish.

A florist prepares a solution of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer by dissolving 5.66 g of NH4NO3 and 4.42 g of (NH4)3PO4 in enough
motikmotik

Answer:

0.00725 M

Explanation:

Considering for NH_4NO_3

Mass = 5.66 g

Molar mass of NH_4NO_3 = 80.043 g/mol

Moles = Mass taken / Molar mass

So,  

<u>Moles = 5.66 / 80.043 moles = 0.0707 moles</u>

NH_4NO_3 will dissociate as:

NH_4NO_3\rightarrow NH_4^++NO_3^-

Thus 1 mole of NH_4NO_3 yields 1 mole of ammonium ions. So,

<u>Ammonium ions furnished by NH_4NO_3 = 1 × 0.0707 moles = 0.0707 moles</u>

Considering for (NH_4)_3PO_4

Mass = 4.42 g

Molar mass of (NH_4)_3PO_4 = 149.09 g/mol

Moles = Mass taken / Molar mass

So,  

Moles = 4.42 / 149.09 moles = 0.0296 moles

(NH_4)_3PO_4 will dissociate as:

(NH_4)_3PO_4\rightarrow 3NH_4^++PO_4^{3-}

Thus 1 mole of NH_4NO_3 yields 3 moles of ammonium ions. So,

<u>Ammonium ions furnished by (NH_4)_3PO_4 = 3 × 0.0296 moles = 0.0888 moles</u>

<u>Total moles of the ammonium ions = 0.0707 + 0.0888 moles = 0.1595 moles</u>

Given that:

Volume = 22.0 L

So, Molarity of the NH_4^+ is:

<u>Molarity = Moles / Volume = 0.1595 / 22 M = 0.00725 M</u>

What properties of water would help water travel up the leaf?
Anna [14]
The high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants. Thus, Cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.
