<u>Answer:</u> The product side must be ZnCl_2+H_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction.

AB+C\rightarrow CB+A

Metal C is more reactive than metal A.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

When zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid, it leads to the production of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The chemical reaction follows:

Zn+2HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Number of zinc atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of chlorine atoms = 2

<u>On product side:</u>

Number of zinc atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of chlorine atoms = 2

Hence, the product side must be ZnCl_2+H_2

Earth has one moon and mars has two moons. how many more moons are found around the outer planets than the inner planets?
Travka [436]
The outer planets are <span>Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune while the inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and  Mars. The outer planets have more moons than the inner planets because these planets are much larger than the inner ones. The inner planets are terrestrial while larger ones are called gas giants, mostly made up of gas.</span>

A solution is made by dissolving
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

THE MOLARITY IS 2.22 MOL/DM3

Explanation:

The solution formed was as a result of dissolving 37.5 g of Na2S in 217 g of water

Relative molecular mass of Na2S = ( 23* 2 + 32) = 78 g/mol

Molarity in g/dm3 is the amount of the substance dissolved in 1000 g or 1 L of the solvent. So we have;

37.5 g of Na2S = 217 g of water

( 37.5 * 1000 / 217 ) g = 1000 g of water

So, 172.81 g/dm3 of the solution

So therefore, molarity in mol/dm3 = mol in g/dm3 / molar mass

Molarity = 172.81 g/dm3 / 78 g/mol

Molarity = 2.22 mol/dm3

The molarity of the solution is 2.22 mol/dm3
