Answer:

Option a is the right one

Explanation:

Redox reactions are defined as the reactions where one element is oxidized (so the oxidation state is increased); and another element is reduced (oxidation state decreases). These changes in the oxidations states are defined by a transference of electrons.

When the oxidation state decrease → reduction → the element gains electrons

When the oxidation state increase → oxidation → the element release electrons

Which mass of urea, CO(NH2)2, contains the same mass of nitrogen as 101.1g of potassium nitrate?
Effectus [21]
In order to calculate the mass of nitrogen, we must first calculate the mass percentage of nitrogen in potassium nitrate. This is:
% nitrogen = mass of nitrogen / mass of potassium nitrate
% nitrogen = 14 / 101.1 x 100

The mass of nitrogen = % nitrogen x sample mass
= (14 / 101.1) x 101.1
= 14 grams

The molar weight of nitrogen is 14. Each mole of urea contains two moles of nitrogen. Therefore, for there to be 14 grams of nitrogen, there must be 0.5 moles of urea.
Mass of urea = moles urea x molecular weight urea
Mass of urea = 0.5 x 66.06
Mass of urea = 33.03 grams

How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if 5.00 moles of zinc reactions with an excess amount of sulfuric acid
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

Explanation:

The balanced Chemical equation for reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid is :

Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

This equation tells that ; when  1 mole of Zn react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid, it produces 1 mole of zinc sulfate and 1 mole of hydrogen.

Since sulfuric acid is in excess so Zinc is the limiting reagent

(Limiting reagent : Substance which get consumed when the reaction completes, limiting reagent helps in predicting the amount of products formed)

Limiting reagent (Zn) will decide the amount of Hydrogen produced

Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

1\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 1\ mole\ H_{2}

So,

5\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 5\ mole\ H_{2}

Hence moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

How many moles of O2 are required to generate 18 moles of H2O in the given reaction? 2C8H18 + 25O2 16CO2 + 18H2O
Veronika [31]
There's a slight error in your equation. I think you were trying to present it like this:

2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Mole Ratio
O2 : H20
25 : 18
? moles : 18 moles
(18/18)×25 : 18 moles

25 moles : 18 moles

Final answer would be 25 moles of O2. :)

If you have any doubts that you want to clarify with me, please ask me! :)
I will do my utmost best to help you.
