Answer:- C. 16.4 L

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

2HCl+Mg\rightarrow H_2+MgCl_2

From this equation, there is 2:1 mol ratio between HCl and hydrogen gas. First of all we calculate the moles of hydrogen gas from given grams of HCl using stoichiometry and then the volume of hydrogen gas could be calculated using ideal gas law equation, PV = nRT.

Molar mass of HCl = 1.008 + 35.45 = 36.458 gram per mol

The calculations are shown below:

49.0gHCl(\frac{1molHCl}{36.458gHCl})(\frac{1molH_2}{2molHCl})

= 0.672molH_2

Now we will use ideal gas equation to calculate the volume.

n = 0.672 mol

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

P = 101.3 kPa = 1 atm

R = 0.0821\frac{atm.L}{mol.K}

PV = nRT

1(V) = (0.672)(0.0821)(298)

V = 16.4 L

From calculations, 16.4 L of hydrogen gas are formed and so the correct choice is C.

A displacement reaction takes place when calcium is placed in a solution of zinc chloride. Which substances will most likely be
Karolina [17]

Hi!


The correct option would be A.


This is because the displacement reaction would take place as follows

Ca + ZnCl2 --> CaCl2 + Zn


A displacement reaction is one in which a substitution occurs, as the more reactive element in the mixture replaces one that is less reactive.

In the electrochemical series, we find Ca higher than Zn, which is indicative of Ca being more reactive, and having the capacity to displace Zn to form a compound.


Option D would be incorrect as no such substitution occurs.

Option B would be incorrect because again, there is no substitution occurring, and also because two metals alone (Ca and Zn in our case) can never react to form a compound.

Option C would be incorrect because it is not possible because CaCl and ZnCl are forms that are too unstable to exist due to an overall positive charge.


Hope this helps!

Consider the following intermediate chemical equations. When you form the final chemical equation, what should you do with CO? C
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Cancel out CO because it appears as a reactant in one intermediate reaction and a product in the other intermediate reaction.

Explanation:

The CO appears twice hence in he intermediate reaction it only forms path of the enabling reagents and it further reacts to form the final product. Accounting for the CO in the intermediate reaction that undergoes further reaction will impact on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

What did J.J. Thomson discover about the atom that changed the atomic model previously used?
galina1969 [7]
J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.

Sedaia [141]
I think the best answer is the last option. A scatter plot is the appropriate type of graph for the student to use to show the percent samples per group. This plot is somewhat similar to line graphs. However, they are use for  a specific purpose which is to show the relationship between two parameters. In this case, the correlation between pH and the percent of samples.
