Answer:

D) hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation for the mentioned reaction is:

<em>Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g),</em>

<em></em>

It is clear that 1.0 moles of Zn react with 2.0 moles of HCl to produce 1.0 moles of ZnCl₂ and 1.0 mole of H₂.

  • From stichiometry; Zn reacts with HCl with (1: 2) molar ratio.

<em>∴ 2.0 mol of Zn (the remaining 2.0 mol is in excess) react completely with 4.0 mol of HCl with (1: 2) molar ratio.</em>

<em />

So,

the limiting reactant is HCl and the excess reactant is Zn.

<em>Thus, the right choice is: D) hydrochloric acid.</em>

In a certain chemical reaction, 2 solid Mg atoms bond with O2 gas to produce solid
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Option B. 2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> 2MgO (s)

Explanation:

From the question given above,

We were told that:

2 solid Mg atoms bond with O2 gas to produce solid MgO.

This can be represented by an equation as follow:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> MgO (s)

Next, we shall balance the above equation as follow:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> MgO (s)

There are 2 atoms of Mg on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of MgO as shown below:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> 2MgO (s)

Now, the equation is balanced.

Balance the following redox reaction if it occurs in acidic solution. What are the coefficients in front of h2c2o4 and h2o in th
postnew [5]

The balanced redox reaction, if it occurs in acidic solution, is

5C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16H⁺-----> 10CO₂(g) + 2Mn²⁺(aq) + 8H₂O(l)

<h3>What are redox reaction?</h3>

Redox reactions are those in which loss and again of electrons occur.

To balance the redox reaction, we must first break the whole reaction into half equations;

Oxidation half equation

\rm 5C_2O4^2^-(aq) + 10e + 8H^+----- > 10CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(l)

Reduction half equation

\rm 2MnO_4^- (aq) + 10e + 8H^+----- > 2Mn^2+(aq) + 4H_2O(l)

Now combine both the reactions

\rm 5C_2O_4^2-(aq) + 2MnO4^- (aq) + 16H^+----- > 10CO_2(g) + 2Mn^2+(aq) + 8H_2O(l)

Thus, the coefficient of H₂C₂O₄ is 5 and that of water is 8.

Which is a problem associated with the use of trees for biomass? I. Potential deforestation II. Burning fossil carbon III. Poten
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Both Option (I) and Option (III)

Explanation:

Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.

A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.

Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).
