Answer:
Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction.
Explanation:
Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes. There can be no oxidation without reduction and vice versa. It is actually a given an take affair. A specie looses electrons which must be gained by another specie to complete the process. This explains why the selected option is the correct one.
A mineral occurs naturally, meaning that even though there are artificial substances that might be described as mineral-like they are not minerals
the answer is A. I (iodine)
no worries
Zn+2HCl ----> 2ZnCl2 + H2
For 2.50 g of Zn
Mass per mol = 2.50/molar mass of Zn = 2.50/65.38 = 0.0382 g/mol
There are two moles of ZnCl2 and total mass = 2*0.0382*molar mass of ZnCl2 = 2*0.0382*136.286 = 10.42 g
For 2 g of HCl
Mass per mol = 2/2*molar mass of HCl = 2/ (2*36.46) = 0.0274 g/mol
For the two moles of ZnCl2, mass produced = 2*0.0274*136.286 = 7.48 g
It can be noted that 2 g of HCl produced less amount of ZnCl and thus it is the limiting reagent.
