Zinc metal is added to a flask containing aqueous hydrochloric acid. The flask contains 0.400 mole of HCl. How much hydrogen gas

is produced if 15.5g of zinc are added to the flask?
Zn(s)+ 2HCl(aq) ⟶H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq)


1.How many moles of HCl are needed to react completely with the 15.5 g of zinc?

2. Which of the two (2) reactants is the limiting reagent?

3. How much is left over of the excessive reactant?

Answer:

0.4 g of hydrogen gas would be produced.

1. 0.48 mole of HCl is needed to react completely with 15.5 g of zinc.

2. HCl is the limiting reactant.

3. 2.61 g of zinc is in excess

Explanation:

From the balanced equation of reaction:

Zn(s)+ 2HCl(aq) --> H_2(g) + ZnCl_2(aq)

1 mole of Zn requires 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

15.5 g of zinc = 15.5/65.3 = 0.24 moles of zinc.

0.24 moles Zn is supposed to require 0.24 x 2 moles HCl which is equivalent to 0.48 moles HCl.

But only 0.400 mole of HCl is present. <u>Hence, HCl is the limiting reagent</u>. <u>For complete reaction with 15.5 g of Zinc, 0.48 mole HCl would be needed.</u>

0.400 mole of HCl will require 0.2 mole of Zn for complete reaction. <u>This thus means that 0.24 - 02 = 0.04 mole of Zn is in excess.</u>

0.04 mole Zn = 0.04 x 65.3 = 2.61 g excess Zn.

Now, since HCl is the limiting reagent;

2 moles of HCl is required to produce 1 mole of H2 according to the equation.

0.400 mole HCl will therefore yield 0.400 x 1/2 = 0.2 mole H2

0.2 mole H2 = 2 x 0.2 = 0.4 g H2

<em>Hence, </em><em>0.4 g</em><em> of hydrogen gas would be produced.</em>

What would diluting the vinegar do to the rate of a reaction between vinegar and sodium hydroxide? decrease the rate of reaction
GarryVolchara [31]
Vinegar is aceti acid diluted in water.

The reaction of vinegar with sodium hydroxide is:

CH3COOH + NaOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O

That is an acid-base reaction.

The speed of reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reactants.

Then, given thatn when you dilute the vinegar you decrease the concentration of CH3COOH, the rate of reaction will decrease.

Answer: decrease the rate of reaction.

Which of the following samples contains the greatest number of atoms?
mart [117]

Answer:

C. 11 moles of N2O

Explanation:

A. CO2 exists as a molecular compound. The number of atoms present = 1 atom of Carbon and 2 atoms oxygen = 3 atoms * 9 = 18 atoms

B. Xe exists as an atom. Number of atoms present = 10 * 1 atom = 10 atoms

C. N20 contains 3 atoms; 2 atoms of Nitrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

Number of atoms present = 3 * 11 = 33 atoms

D. CO contains 2 atoms, 1 each of carbon and oxygen.

Number of atoms present = 12 * 2 = 24 atoms
