Zn (s) -> Zn+2 (aq) + 2e-
Zn (s) with a neutral charge is oxidized and looses two electrons in the process to form ZnCl2 (aq) where Zn has a charge of 2+.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
70.906 g
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given;
- Atoms of Chlorine = 1.2 × 10^24 atoms
We are required to calculate the mass of Chlorine
- We know that 1 mole of an element contains atoms equivalent to the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10^23.
- That is , 1 mole of an element = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms
- Therefore; 1 mole of Chlorine = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms
But since Chlorine gas is a molecule;
- 1 mole of Chlorine gas = 2 × 6.022 × 10^23 atoms
But, molar mass of Chlorine gas = 70.906 g/mol
Then;
70.906 g Of chlorine gas = 2 × 6.022 × 10^23 atoms
= 1.20 × 10^24 atoms
Thus;
For 1.2 × 10^24 atoms ;
= ( 70.906 g/mol × 1.2 × 10^24 atoms ) ÷ (1.20 × 10^24 atoms)
<h3>= 70.906 g </h3>
Therefore, 1.20 × 10^24 atoms of chlorine contains a mass of 70.906 g
=
Atom can never be divided into smaller particles is the answer was disproved
Because liquids cant be condensed the way that gasses can for example in a tank of argon you can put 20 cubic feet because it can be be condensed but you could not fit 20 cubic feet of water because it can not be packed together .
