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.

Which of the following solutions would have the lowest freezing point? 1.0 nacl 3.0 nacl 2.0 nacl or 5.0 nacl
Scilla [17]
The solution that will have the lowest freezing point is 5.0 SODIUM CHLORIDE. 
Adding solute to solvents usually result in the depression of the freezing point. The higher the quantity of the solute that is added, the lower the freezing point of the solution.

Can someone help please? :)
Leno4ka [110]

1) This is a definition.

2) Protons are given by the bottom number (since atomic number = number of protons).

3) Neutrons = (mass number)-(atomic number), which are the top and bottom numbers, respectively.

4) Nuclear fusion involves combining two things together, which is only reflected by the last option.

5) This is a fact.

6) This is a fact.

7) This is a fact.

8) This is a fact.

9) The correct option is the explanation.

H2, N2, O2 molecules. . . A)must be polar. must be nonpolar. . B)can be polar or nonpolar depending on geometric . C)configurati
LenKa [72]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: The given molecules are the molecules of same element.

These molecules are considered as diatomic species.

Polar molecules are the molecules in which some polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is some difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: HCl

Non-polar molecules are the molecules where no polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is no difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: H_2, O_2

The given molecules are non-polar in nature.

Hence, these molecules must be non-polar. So, the correct option is A.

State the postulate of Bohr theory
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom is based on three postulates:

1) An electron moves around the nucleus in a circular orbit,

2) An electron's angular momentum in the orbit is quantised,

3) The change in an electron's energy as it makes a quantum jump from one orbit to another is always accompanied by the emission or absorption of a photon. Bohr's model is semi-classical because it combines the classical concept of electron orbit (postulate 1) with the new concept of quantisation ( postulates 2 and ).

A sample of oxygen gas occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm. If temperature is held constant, what will be the volume
evablogger [386]
P1V1=P2V2
(1.00atm)(3.60L)=(2.50atm)V
3.60=(2.50atm)V
3.60/2.50=V
