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.

Are starch molecules or glucose molecules bigger?
ale4655 [162]

Answer: Starch

Explanation:

Why is starch larger than glucose? Based on the experiment, starch molecules are bigger in comparison to glucose molecules because they could not leave the tubing. This is supported by the presence of color change in the tubing for the starch test.

Answer:

3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules arsenic (III) oxide (As₂O₃), you need to (1) convert kg to lbs, then (2) convert g As₂O₃ to moles As₂O₃ (via molar mass), and then (3) convert moles to molecules (via Avogadro's number).

1 kilogram = 2.2 lb

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 2(74.992 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 197.978 g/mol

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

0.0146 g As₂O₃            1 kg                  189 lb
------------------------  x  ---------------  x  ------------------  x   ................
         1 kg                     2.2 lb          

       1 mole                6.022 x 10²³ molecules
x  ------------------  x  ---------------------------------------  = 3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃
      197.978 g                        1 mole
