Answer:

B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.

Explanation:

The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.

As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.

Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.

  • A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.

How many grams of HCl(aq) are required to react completely with 1.25g of Zn(s) to form ZnCl2(aq) and H2
faltersainse [42]

1.39 g HCl

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is given by

Zn(<em>s</em>) + 2HCl(<em>aq</em>) ---> ZnCl2(<em>aq</em>) + H2(<em>g</em>)

Convert the # of grams of Zn to moles:

1.25 g Zn × (1 mol Zn/65.38 g Zn) = 0.0191 mol Zn

Use the molar ratio to find the # of moles of HCl needed to react completely with the given amount of Zn:

0.0191 mol Zn × (2 mol HCl/1 mol Zn) = 0.0382 mol HCl

Convert this amount to grams:

0.0382 mol HCl × (36.458 g HCl/1 mol HCl) = 1.39 g HCl

2. what volume of 0.0150-m hcl solution is required to titrate 150. ml of a 0.0100-m ca(oh)2 solution? (10 points)
laila [671]

100ml volume of  0.0150m hcl solution is requires to titrate 150ml of a 0.0100m caoh2 solution.

Dilution is a solution of decreasing the concentration of a solute in the solution by adding more solvent to the solution. We can use the expression for dilute formula,

    C1 V1 =C2 V2

where C1 is the initial concentration,C2 is the final concentration,V1 is the initial volume and V2 is the final volume. Here given, volume of 0.0150M(C1)  HCL solution is required to titrate 150ml(V2) of a 0.0100M(C1)  Caoh2 solution.

While diluting a solution from a high concentration substance to a low concentration substance we always use the formula of dilution.so, putting all value give  in the expression we get the volume of the final concentration.

          V1=  C2 V2/ C1

               = 0.0100m . 150ml /0.0150M

               = 100ml

The volume of the hcl solution is 100ml.
