Cl2(s); oxidation number 1 is the incorrect choices in oxidation number.

Explanation:

In the elemental form oxidation state is zero. Here chlorine is present in elemental form so oxidation state is zero.

Oxidation number depends on the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom of the element say in compound formation.

If electron is gained oxidation number becomes negative.

If electron is lost then oxidation number is positive.

If the octet rule is fulfilled that valence shell is filled them atomic number gets zero. Since Cl2 is in neutral state the oxidation number is 0.

Oxidation number in general can be made out by checking the valency of the element as oxidation number is also equal to the valency.

What mass of zinc (molar mass 65.4 g moll) does it take to produce 0.50 mole of H2(g)?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

32.7 g of Zn

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Zn + 2HCl —> ZnCl₂ + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Zn reacted to produce 1 mole of H₂

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Zn required to produce 0.5 mole of H₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Zn reacted to produce 1 mole of H₂.

Therefore, 0.5 mole of Zn will also react to produce to 0.5 mole of H₂.

Thus, 0.5 mole of Zn is required.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 0.5 mole of Zn. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of Zn = 0.5 mole

Molar mass of Zn = 65.4 g/mol

Mass of Zn =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Zn = 0.5 × 65.4

Mass of Zn = 32.7 g

Thus, 32.7 g of Zn is required to produce 0.5 mole of H₂.
