How much Zn and how much HCl should be used to produce 1.5 g ZnCl2

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.71963 g of Zn
0.80256 g of HCl

Step-by-step explanation:

The required mass of reactants can be computed from the number of moles of product.

moles of ZnCl₂ = (1.5 g)/(136.282 g) ≈ 0.0110066 moles

Then the mass of Zn required is ...

mass of Zn = (0.0110066 mol)(65.382 g/mol) = 0.71963 g

Two moles of HCl are used in the reaction with each mole of Zn, so the mass of HCl required is ...

mass of HCl = 2(0.0110066 mol)(36.458 g/mol) = 0.80256 g

_____

<em>Comment</em>

The discrepancy in the last two decimal places of the weights above versus the calculator output below comes from rounding of moles of Zn to 4 significant digits, instead of 5 or more. The number of moles of ZnCl₂ is closer to 0.0110066.

Using long division to find the quotient, what changes do you first

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$\frac{125x^3 - 8}{5x - 2} = 25x^2 + 10x +4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Dividend = 125x^3 - 8$

$Divisor = 5x - 2$

Required

Determine the quotient

See attachment for complete process.

First, divide 125x^3 by 5x

$\frac{125x^3}{5x} =25x^2$

Write $25x^2$ at the top

Multiply $5x - 2$ by $25x^2$

$= 125x^3 - 50x^2$

Subtract from 125x^3 - 8

i.e.

$125x^3 - 8 - (125x^3 - 50x^2) = 50x^2 - 8$

Step 2:

Divide 50x^2 by 5x

$\frac{50x^2}{5x} = 10x$

Write $10x$ at the top

Multiply $5x - 2$ by $10x$

$= 50x^2 - 20x$

Subtract from 50x^2 - 8

i.e.

$50x^2 - 8 - (50x^2 - 20x) = 20x - 8$

Step 3:

Divide 20x by 5x

$\frac{20x}{5x} = 4$

Write $4$ at the top

Multiply $5x - 2$ by $4$

$= 20x - 8$

Subtract from 20x - 8

i.e.

$20x - 8 - (20x - 8) = 0$

Hence:

$\frac{125x^3 - 8}{5x - 2} = 25x^2 + 10x +4$

Write an equivalent expression for 25x - 45 using the properties of operations. Hint: find the GCF of 25 and 45. You use parenth

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

25x - 45 = 5(5x - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 25 and 45.

You can do this several ways, but one way is to list all the factors of both numbers and find the greatest common one:

Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25

Factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45

Therefore, 25 and 45 have 2 common factors: 1 and 5

So the greatest common factors is 5

25x - 45 = 5(ax - b)

To find the value of a, simply divide 25 by 5: 25 ÷ 5 = 5

To find the value of b, divide 45 by 5: 45 ÷ 5 = 9

25x - 45 = 5(5x - 9)

1. What is the growth/ decay rate for this exponential function?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

1. The growth rate is 2

2. The sample is losing half its mass, so the decay factor is 1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth and decay factor in an exponential function is the number that is being multiplied to the power of x

It is a growth rate when that number is greater than 1
It is a decay rate when the number is less than 1
If it's 1 then it's not growing or decaying
If it's 0 you will have an answer of 0
