The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

How many grams of zinc would be required to produce 9.65g of zinc hydroxide

Zn+2MnO₂+H₂O→Zn(OH)₂+Mn₂O₃

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of zinc required is 6.35 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of zinc hydroxide = 9.65 g

Molar mass of zinc hydroxide = 99.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of zinc hydroxide}=\frac{9.65g}{99.4g/mol}=0.0971mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Zn+2MnO_2+H_2O\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2+Mn_2O_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc hydroxide is produced from 1 mole of zinc

So, 0.0971 moles of zinc hydroxide will be produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0971=0.0971mol$ of zinc

Now, calculating the mass of zinc from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol

Moles of zinc = 0.0971 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0971mol=\frac{\text{Mass of zinc}}{65.4g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of zinc}=(0.0971mol\times 65.4g/mol)=6.35g$

Hence, the mass of zinc required is 6.35 grams

What is the balanced form of the following equation?. Br2 + S2O32– + H2O → Br1– + SO42– + H+.

zloy xaker [14]

For the equation to be balanced, the Atom's coefficient on the left side and the right side of the equation has to be equal

so, the answer would be :

Br2 + S2032- + 5H20 -- > BR2- + 2S02- + H+

Compare and contrast the concepts of average mass and relative mass. Which one is more accurate, and why? Why is the one you did

Brut [27]

Answer:

Relative and average atomic mass both describe properties of an element related to its different isotopes.

Explanation:However, relative atomic mass is a standardized number that's assumed to be correct under most circumstances, while average atomic mass is only true for a specific sample.

An explanation of what will happen every time in a specific situation

kramer

The one that is being described above is what we call SCIENTIFIC LAW. Scientific law is what explains of what will happen every time in a certain situation. This is also different from scientific theory since scientific theory only gives an explanation to a group of happenings and this can still be modified. Hope this helps.

You are given a solution of HCOOH (formic acid) with an approximate concentration of 0.20 M and you will titrate this with a 0.1

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{36 mL}}$

Explanation:

1. Write the balanced chemical equation.

$\rm HCOOH + NaOH $ \longrightarrow$ HCOONa + H$_{2}$O$

2. Calculate the moles of HCOOH

$\text{Moles of HCOOH} =\text{20.00 mL HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{0.20 mmol HCOOHl}}{\text{1 mL HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol HCOOH}$

3. Calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\text{Moles of NaOH = 4.00 mmol HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol NaOH} }{\text{1 mmol HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH}$

4. Calculate the volume of NaOH

$c = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL NaOH }}{\text{0.1105 mmol NaOH }} = \textbf{36 mL NaOH }\\\\\text{The titration will require }\boxed{\textbf{36 mL of NaOH}}$
