Answer:

2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2Li⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + H₂(g)

Explanation:

An ionic equation uses the symbols (aq) [aqueous] to indicate molecules and ions that are soluble in water, (s) [solid] to indicate insoluble solids, and (ℓ) to indicate substances (usually water) in the liquid state.

In this reaction, solid lithium reacts with liquid water to form soluble lithium hydroxide and gaseous hydrogen .

1. Molecular equation

2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2LiOH(aq) + H₂(g)

2. Ionic equation

Lithium hydroxide is a soluble ionic compound, so we write it as hydrated ions.

2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2Li⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + H₂(g)

In the reaction, Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> ZnCl2 (aq)+ H2(g), 25 grams of Zn are reacted with 17.5 g of HCl. How many grams of H2

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

0.480 g of H₂ are produced, in the reaction.

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

Zn(s) + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

We havethe mass of both reactants, so we must work with them to find out the limiting reactant and then, determine the amount of H₂ produced.

Let's convert the mass to moles ( mass / molar mass)

25 g / 65.41 g/mol = 0.382 moles Zn

17.5 g / 36.45 g/mol = 0.480 moles HCl

Ratio is 1:2, so 1 mol of Zn react with the double of moles of HCl.

0.382 moles of Zn would need the double of moles to react, so (0.382 .2) = 0.764 moles of HCl. → We only have 0.480 moles, so the acid is the limiting.

Now let's determine the moles of H₂ formed.

Ratio is 2:1, so If i take account the moles I have, I will produce the half of moles of my product.

0.480 moles / 2 = 0.240 moles of H₂ are produced.

To find out the mass, we must multiply mol . molar mass

0.240 mol . 2g/mol = 0.480 g

Sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties Br ,Mg ,F ,Sr ,S ,O

Lapatulllka [165]

The elements in the periodic table are arranged in columns - elements in the same column exhibit similar properties.
Mg and Sr are in the same column (period I)
Br and F (period XVII - 17)
S and O (period XVI - 16)

A sample of air at 58.6 kPa is expanded from 250 mL to 655 mL. If thetemperature remains constant, what is the final pressure in

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

The final pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$
