Measure which mass? I recommend editing the question so that I can answer it and get more points >:)
The metal ion in an ionic compound will loose an electron becoming a cation. It will therefore develop a positive charge. The magnitude of the charge depends on the number of electrons lost. If one electron is lost the ion gains a +1 charge and of 2 is lost it gains a +2 charge ect.
.......the answer is a gas
Assuming there is excess acid, the equation for the reaction is Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2.
Mols of zinc = 20/65 (mass/relative atomic mass)
Ratio of Zn : ZnCl2 = 1 : 1
Hence mols of Zinc = mols of Zinc chloride
Mass of ZnCl2 = (20/65)(65+71)
= 41.8g
The correct answer is the combination of a metal with another element.
An alloy is a combination of two or more metallic elements to make a stronger material. For instance, there are bronze alloys, brass alloys, and coin alloys.
We can confirm that an alloy is a combination of one metal with another metal because stainless steel is made of an iron and chromium alloy (iron is a metal; chromium is also a metal). Therefore, we can confirm that option C is the best choice.
