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>

Water is being pumped from the bottom of a well 150 feet deep at a rate of 200 gal/hour into a vented storage tank 30 feet above
KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

As the given data is as follows.

        Height, H = 150 feet

 Heat gain = 30,000 BTU/hr,  and  Heat loss = 25000 BTU/hr

  m = mass of water heated = 700 gallons = 5810 lbs

C_{p} is the heat capacity of water = 1 BTU/lb ^{o}F (given)

      \Delta T = temperature difference = 120^{o}F - 35^{o}F

Heat energy required to heat 700 gal can be calculated as follows:

    Heat Required = 5810 lbs \times 1 BTU/lb^{o}F \times (120^{o}F - 35^{o}F)

Thus, water rises till 120^{o}F.

Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. (a) Write the chemical equation for the dissociation of HCN in water. (b) Identify the Br
12345 [234]

Answer: a) HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)

b) HCN : acid CN^- :conjugate base.

And, H_2O : base H_3O^+: conjugate acid.

c) HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)

d) NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)

e) NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases H^+ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of HCN acid is given by:

HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

HCN is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms CN^- which is a conjugate base.

And, H_2O is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms H_3O^+ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)

d) The chemical equation for dissociation of NaCN in water.

NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)

e) The chemical equation for the reaction of NaCN and HCI

NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)
