WaveLENGTH is a LENGTH.  As such, any unit of LENGTH can be used to describe it.

The most widely used units are:

-- meter (and its multiples, kilo, deca, centi, milli, micro, nano, etc.)

-- foot

-- inch

Zinc metal is added to a flask containing aqueous hydrochloric acid. The flask contains 0.400 mole of HCl. How much hydrogen gas
dusya [7]

Answer:

0.4 g of hydrogen gas would be produced.

1. 0.48 mole of HCl is needed to react completely with 15.5 g of zinc.

2. HCl is the limiting reactant.

3. 2.61 g of zinc is in excess

Explanation:

From the balanced equation of reaction:

Zn(s)+ 2HCl(aq) --> H_2(g) + ZnCl_2(aq)

1 mole of Zn requires 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

15.5 g of zinc = 15.5/65.3 = 0.24 moles of zinc.

0.24 moles Zn is supposed to require 0.24 x 2 moles HCl which is equivalent to 0.48 moles HCl.

But only 0.400 mole of HCl is present. <u>Hence, HCl is the limiting reagent</u>. <u>For complete reaction with 15.5 g of Zinc, 0.48 mole HCl would be needed.</u>

0.400 mole of HCl will require 0.2 mole of Zn for complete reaction. <u>This thus means that 0.24 - 02 = 0.04 mole of Zn is in excess.</u>

0.04 mole Zn = 0.04 x 65.3 = 2.61 g excess Zn.

Now, since HCl is the limiting reagent;

2 moles of HCl is required to produce 1 mole of H2 according to the equation.

0.400 mole HCl will therefore yield 0.400 x 1/2 = 0.2 mole H2

0.2 mole H2 = 2 x 0.2 = 0.4 g H2

<em>Hence, </em><em>0.4 g</em><em> of hydrogen gas would be produced.</em>

Which law is based on the graph that is shown below? A graph is shown with pressure on the horizontal axis and volume on the ver
DIA [1.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

"Boyle's Law" is based on the graph that is shown below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Boyle's law or Boyle – Mariotte law or Mariotte's law, is an experimental gas law that discusses how a gas's pressure tends to rise as the container volume start declining. This shows the relationship between pressure and volume for a fixed mass at a constant temperature, i.e., number of a gas molecules.This rule visualizes the actions of gas molecules in a confined space. This law can be understood from following equation:

p₁V₁ = p₂V₂

Above the product of the initial volume and pressure is equal to the product of the volume and pressure after a change.

Organisms, or living things are made of tiny particles that can join together and make larger structures.
zzz [600]
Living things are highly organized and structured, following a hierarchy of scale from small to large. The atom is the smallest and most fundamental unit of matter. It consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. Atoms combine to form molecules, which are chemical structures consisting of at least two atoms held together by a chemical bond. In plants, animals, and many other types of organisms, molecules come together in specific ways to create structures called organelles. Organelles are small structures that exist within cells and perform specialized functions. As discussed in more detail below, all living things are made of one or more cells.
