Oh no... not again... Prof. Vitarelli spots Sybil running down the hall... yelling something... something about her tea cups...

Prof. Vitarelli and Prof. Snape try to hold her back. But they fail. She yells, I’ve learned another exam question from last year! Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aqueous solution of zinc(II) chloride. What is the reducing agent in this reaction? Maybe Prof. Umbridge was right in trying to remove her.

Answer:

The reducing agent is Zn.

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid.

Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ⇄ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction, which can be divided in 2 half-reactions: reduction and oxidation.

In the reduction, H⁺ gains electrons and it is considered the oxidizing agent.

2H⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ H₂

In the oxidation, Zn loses electrons and it is considered the reducing agent.

Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻

If 8cm^3 of H2 reacts with an excess of Cl2, calculate how much of the HCL(g) is produced.
Rom4ik [11]
First, we need the balanced equation: H₂ + Cl₂ ---> 2HCl

since not much information is given, I am assuming we are at STP and that 22.4 Liters= 1 mol

1) let's convert the volume to moles using the molar volume of a gas. also we need to convert the cm₃ to mL, then to Liters.

8 cm³ (1 ml/ 1 cm³)(1 L/ 1000 mL) (1 mol/ 22.4 Liters)= 3.6x10⁻⁴ moles of H₂

2) let's use the mole ratio of the balanced equation to convert moles of H₂ to moles of HCl

3.6x10⁻⁴ mol H₂ (2 mol HCl/ 1 mol H₂)= 7.1x10⁻⁴ mol HCl

3) lastly, we convert the moles of HCl to grams using the molar mass.

molar mass of HCl= 1.01 + 35.5= 36.51 g/mol

7.1x10⁻⁴ mol HCl (36.51 g/mol)=<span> 0.026 grams HCl</span>

What determines the type of crystals in igneous rocks?
nika2105 [10]
Over all the size of the crystal depends on how fast magma will harden over time if the magma cools slowly the crystal will be larger than they would if the magma cooled faster
