Answer:

You have to use a sufficient amount of heat, to make a zinc plated copper penny into a gold color

There are also 7 detailed steps you can use if you are tryin got make gold pennies

1.Pour 20 mL of NaOH solution to the dish.

2.Add the zinc dust in the dish with the NaOH, and gently swirl the mixture together.

3.Set the hot plate to medium heat and place the evaporating dish on top.

4.Heat for 5 minutes. Do not boil. When the dish is hot, place a penny in it. Heat for two minutes or until the penny is coated and becomes silver in appearance.

5.Remove the penny from the dish with tongs and drop it into water. When cool, wipe the penny clean with a cloth to remove any excess zinc.

6.Using tongs, hold the penny in the flame of a Bunsen burner and gently heat. The penny should turn “gold” (brass). (Do not overheat the penny.)

7.Dip the penny in the beaker of water until it is cool to the touch.

What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms in 1,3-butadiene, h2c=ch-ch=ch2?

Natalija [7]

The main formula is as follow is explained in the attached file (please look at the examples)

the 1,3- butadiene is h2c=ch-ch=ch2, so we have

sp² sp² sp² sp²
h2c = ch - ch = ch2

the hybridization of the carbon atoms is sp² : trigonal planar

Mg(s) + ½O2(g) → MgO(s) + 146 kcal/mole H2(g) + ½O2(g) → H2O(g), ΔH = -57.82 kcal/mole What type of reaction is represented by t

adell [148]

Answer is: both reactions are exothermic.

In exothermic reactions, heat is released and enthalpy of reaction is less than zero (as it show second chemical reaction).
According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is exothermic heat is included as a product (as it show first chemical reaction).

Alkanes are hydrocarbons containing only single bonds. Acyclic alkanes have carbon atoms arranged in chains, whereas cycloalkane

sashaice [31]

Answer:

156 Hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Any acyclic alkane has a molecular formula that can be expressed as:

CₙH₂ₙ₊₂

Where n is any integer and the number of carbon atoms. For example, Propane has 3 carbon atoms, this means it would have [2*3+2] 8 hydrogen atoms, resulting with a formula of C₃H₈.

An acyclic alkane with 77 carbon atoms would thus have:

2*77 + 2 = 156 hydrogen atoms
