In a laboratory investigation, magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride. This reac

tion is represented by the unbalanced equation below.
Mg(s) + HCl(aq) ==>H2(g) + MgCl2(aq)

According to the reactivity series of metals, Mg is more reactive than H. Therefore, this reaction is spontaneous.
Hope this helps~

To identify a diatomic gas (X2), a researcher carried out the following experiment: She weighed an empty 3.6-L bulb, then filled
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The gas was N₂

Explanation:

V = 3.6L

P = 2.0 atm

T = 24.0°C = 297K

R = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

m = 8.3g

M = molar mass = ?

Using ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

n = no. Of moles = mass / molar mass

n = m/M

PV = m/M * RT

M = mRT / PV

M = (8.3*0.0821*297) / (2.0*3.6)

M = 28.10

Since X is a diatomic molecule

M = 28.10 / 2 = 14.05 g/mol

M = Nitrogen

X = N₂

Answer:

Element

magnesium, hydrogen, chlorine, sulfur

Compound

water, iron oxide

Mixture

air, salty water , dias cola.

Explanation:

Element is made up of only one type of atom and are relresented by symbols.

Compound are formed by chemical mixing of atoms of elements and have a chemical formula

Mixture are formed by simple mixing up of substances and mixture don't have chemical formula.

When the equation Sn + HNO₃ → SnO₂ + NO₂ + H₂O is balanced in acidic solution, what is the smallest whole-number coefficient for
balu736 [363]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

Sn^0 + H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 + N^{4+}O^{2-}_2 + H^+_2O^-

Whereas the half reactions are:

Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow  N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

1\times(Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-)\\\\4\times (H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow  N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O)\\\\\\Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +4e^-\rightarrow  4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O

Afterwards, we add them to obtain:

Sn^0+2H_2O+4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3  \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O

By adding and subtracting common terms we obtain:

Sn^0+4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3  \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+2H_2O

Finally, by removing the oxidation states we have:

Sn + 4HNO_3 \rightarrow SnO_2 + 4NO_2 + 2H_2O

Therefore, the smallest whole-number coefficient for Sn is 1.

Regards.
