Answer:

A.  a new substance is being produced.

Explanation:

The bubbles most likely indicates that a new substance is being produced by this reaction. In essence, we describe this sort of change as chemical change.

In a chemical change, new substances are usually produced. They are accompanied by the evolution or absorption of energy.

The reaction of Zinc with a strong acid to produce bubbles on the surface of the metal indicates a chemical change and the formation of a new kind of substance.

Take for example, let zinc reacts with hydrocholoric acid, HCl;

   Zn         +      2HCl      →    ZnCl₂     +     H₂

Since Zn is higher than Hydrogen in the activity series, it will displace it from HCl and liberate hydrogen gas as a product. This will cause the bubbles observed in the reaction.

This is a chemical change and new products have been formed.

B and D are wrong because they are both physical changes.

C is wrong because no information about such is provided by the problem statement.

So, when a piece of zinc metal combines with a strong acid, a new kind of substance is produced.

Pesticide concentrations in the Rhine River between Germany and France between 1969 and 1975 averaged 0.55 mg/L of hexachloroben
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1.93×10⁻³ mmoles/L of C₆Cl₆; 1.58×10⁻⁴ mmoles/L of C₁₂H₈Cl₆O; 3.51×10⁻³ mmoles/L of C₆H₆Cl₆

Explanation:

We have to find out the molar mass of each pesticide to calculate the moles, and then the milimoles

C₆Cl₆ → 12. 6 + 35.45 .6 = 284.7 g/m

C₁₂H₈Cl₆O →  12 . 12 + 8.1 + 35.45 .6 + 16 = 380.7 g/m

C₆H₆Cl₆ → 12.6 + 6.1 + 35.45 .6 = 290,7 g/m

Let's convert mg to g (/1000)

0.55 mg / 1000 = 5.5×10⁻⁴ g

0.060 mg / 1000 = 6×10⁻⁵ g

1.02 mg / 1000 = 1.02×10⁻³ g

Now we can know the moles (mass / molar mass)

5.5×10⁻⁴ g / 284.7 g/m = 1.93×10⁻⁶ moles of C₆Cl₆

6×10⁻⁵ g / 380.7 g/m = 1.58×10⁻⁷ moles of C₁₂H₈Cl₆O

1.02×10⁻³ g / 290,7 g/m = 3.51×10⁻⁶ moles of C₆H₆Cl₆

Milimoles = Mol . 1000

1.93×10⁻⁶ . 1000 = 1.93×10⁻³ mmoles of C₆Cl₆

1.58×10⁻⁷ . 1000 = 1.58×10⁻⁴ mmoles of C₁₂H₈Cl₆O

3.51×10⁻⁶ . 1000 = 3.51×10⁻³ mmoles of C₆H₆Cl₆
