Answer:

0.120 L of hydrogen gas will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of zinc = 10.0 grams

Volume of hydrochloric acid = 23.8 mL

Molarity of hydrochloric acid = 0.45 M

Molar mass of zinc =65.38 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Step 3: Calculate moles Zinc

Moles Zn = mass Zn / molar mass Zn

Moles Zn = 10.0 grams / 65.38 g/mol

Moles Zn  =  0.153 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HCl

Moles HCl = molarity * volume

Moles HCl = 0.45 M * 0.0238 L

Moles HCl = 0.01071 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol Zn, we need 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mol ZnCl2 and 1 mol H2

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.01071 moles)

Zn is in excess. There will react 0.01071/2 = 0.005355 moles

There will remain 0.153 - 0.005355 = 0.147645 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H2

For 1 mol Zn, we need 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mol ZnCl2 and 1 mol H2

For 0.01071 moles HCl we'll have 0.005355 moles H2

Step 7: Calculate volume H2

1 mol at STP = 22.4 L

0.005355 moles = 22.4 * 0.005355 = 0.120 L = 120 mL

0.120 L of hydrogen gas will be produced

frosja888 [35]
On June 21, as seen from the North pole ...

-- the sun has been up, and it's been light outside,
for the past three months ... ever since March 21 . 

-- The sun won't set, and it won't be dark outside,
for another three months ... until September 21.

-- Here at the North pole, it stays daylight for six months straight.
Today, on June 21, we're exactly halfway through the period of
continuous daylight.

Explain how a hurricane poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A hurricane can cause extreme damage to the biosphere and the geosphere. A hurricane can leave water standing therefore sinking itself into the geosphere. The biosphere can be permanently effected because it can kill, injure, and destroy the biosphere and what the biosphere creates (buildings, parks).

What compound is formed when methyloxirane (1,2-epoxypropane) is reacted with ethylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Pentan-2-ol

Explanation:

On this reaction, we have a <u>Grignard reagent</u> (ethylmagnesium bromide), therefore we will have the production of a <u>carbanion</u> (step 1). Then this carbanion can <u>attack the least substituted carbon</u> in the epoxide in this case carbon 1 (step 2). In this step, the epoxide is open and a negative charge is generated in the oxygen. The next step, is the <u>treatment with aqueous acid</u>, when we add acid the <u>hydronium ion</u> (H^+)  would be produced, so in the reaction mechanism, we can put the hydronium ion. This ion would be <u>attacked by the negative charge</u> produced in the second step to produce the final molecule: <u>"Pentan-2-ol".</u>

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
