Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Chemistry
1 answer:
ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago

Answer:

limiting reactant

Explanation:

<em>The term that will be used to describe zinc in this case is </em><em>limiting reactant.</em>

A limiting reactant is a reactant that determines the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction. They are often stoichiometrically smaller of all the reactants in a reaction and once they are used up during, the reaction stops.

In this case, the zinc metal in the reaction is completely consumed, making the hydrochloric acid to be in excess. The zinc thus determines the amount of the products formed,

A compound accepts electrons from another substance to form a covalent bond. Which term best describes this compound’s behavior?
Cloud [144]

A compound accepts electrons from another substance to form a covalent bond. The compound acts as a Lewis base.

<h3>What are the most common acid-base theories?</h3>
  • Arrhenius: acids release H⁺ and bases release OH⁻.
  • Bronsted-Lowry: acids donate H⁺ and bases accept H⁺.
  • Lewis: acids accept electrons and bases donate electrons.

A compound accepts electrons from another substance to form a covalent bond. Which term best describes this compound’s behavior?

  • Lewis acid. YES.
  • Arrhenius base. NO, because OH⁻ is not involved.
  • Bronsted-Lowry acid. NO, because H⁺ is not involved.
  • Bronsted-Lowry base. NO, because H⁺ is not involved.

What attractive force draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds?
Dmitrij [34]

The formation of chemical bonds occurs due to the attractive forces between oppositely charged ions (ionic bonds) or by sharing of electrons (covalent bonds).

An atom having tendency of attracting a shared pair of electrons towards itself and this chemical property is said to Electronegativity .

Thus, the attractive forces which draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds is electronegativity.

The balanced redox reactions for the sequential reduction of vanadium are given below.
Minchanka [31]

Answer : 0.0392 grams of Zn metal would be required to completely reduced the vanadium.

Explanation :

Let us rewrite the given equations again.

2VO_{2}^{+} (aq)+ 4H^{+}(aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow 2VO^{2+}(aq)+Zn^{2+}+2H2O(l)2VO^{2+}(aq)+ 4H^{+}(aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{3+} (aq)+Zn^{2+}+2H2O(l)

2V^{3+} (aq)+ Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{2+}(aq)+Zn^{2+}(aq)

On adding above equations, we get the following combined equation.

2VO_{2}^{+} (aq)+ 8H^{+} (aq) + 3Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{2+}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)+4H_{2}O(l)

We have 12.1 mL of 0.033 M solution of VO₂⁺.

Let us find the moles of VO₂⁺ from this information.

12.1 mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL}\times \frac{0.033mol}{L}=0.0003993mol NO_{2}^{+}

From the combined equation, we can see that the mole ratio of VO₂⁺ to Zn is 2:3.

Let us use this as a conversion factor to find the moles of Zn.

0.0003993mol NO_{2}^{+}\times \frac{3mol Zn}{2molNO_{2}^{+}}=0.00059895mol Zn

Let us convert the moles of Zn to grams of Zn using molar mass of Zn.

Molar mass of Zn is 65.38 g/mol.

0.00059895mol Zn\times \frac{65.38gZn}{1molZn}=0.0392gZn

We need 0.0392 grams of Zn metal to completely reduce vanadium.
