Answer:

option b = 1,2,1,1

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Zn + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

Balanced chemical equation:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

There are two atoms of hydrogen one atom of zinc and 2 atoms of chlorine on both side of equation.

The common oxidation state of zinc is +2 while tat of chlorine is -1 that's why two chlorine atoms combine with one atom of zinc to accept two electrons.

Zn⁺²Cl₂²⁻ negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude that's why over all compound is neutral.

While two atoms of hydrogen combine with each other through covalent bond by shearing the electrons.

The oxidation state of zinc is increased from 0 to +2 so it gets oxidized while that of chlorine is -1 to -2 is chlorine gets reduced.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Expression for the given decomposition reaction is as follows.

$N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}$

Let us assume that x concentration of $N_{2}O_{4}$ is present at the initial stage. Therefore, according to the ICE table,

$N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}$

Initial : x 0

Change : - 0.1 $2 \times 0.1$

Equilibrium : (x - 0.1) 0.2

Now, expression for $K_{p}$ of this reaction is as follows.

$K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}$

$2 = \frac{(0.2)^{2}}{(x - 0.1)}$

$2 \times (x - 0.1) = (0.2)^{2}$

x = 0.12

This means that $P_{N_{2}O_{4}}$ = x = 0.12 atm.

Thus, we can conclude that the initial pressure in the container prior to decomposition is 0.12 atm.

Answer:

Add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour. A blue-black color results if starch is present. If starch amylose is not present, then the color will stay orange or yellow
