Consider the redox reaction below.

Chemistry

Answer:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Explanation:

Let us consider the complete redox reaction:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.

  • Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
  • Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
  • An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.

Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2

And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.

Therefore, for this reaction;

Oxidation Half equation is:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Reduction Half equation is:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)

Describe how the metal probably increases the reaction rate, identify whether this is an example of homogeneous or heterogeneous
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The metal probably increases reaction rate by either holding reactant molecules in the correct orientation to react or by weakening or breaking bonds in reactant molecules to make them more reactive.

This is an example of heterogeneous catalysis.

It is heterogeneous catalysis because the catalyst is a solid and the reactants are gases. In heterogeneous catalysis, the catalyst is in a different phase than the reactants

Explanation:

got it right :)

Graduated cylinder is filled to 41.5mL with water, and a price of granite is placed in the cylinder displacing the level to 47.6
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

6.1 cm³

Explanation:

To solve this problem we first need to keep in mind <em>Archimedes' principle</em>:

  • The volume of water (or any fluid) displaced by a submerged object is equal to the object's volume.

With that in mind we <u>calculate the volume of the granite piece in mililiters</u>:

  • Volume displaced = 47.6 mL - 41.5 mL = 6.1 mL
  • Volume of the granite piece = 6.1 mL

Given that one cubic centimeter is equal to one mililiter, the volume of the granite piece in cm³ is 6.1 cm³.

What is the density of an object with a mass of 1.663 g and a volume of 0.2009 mL
daser333 [38]
<span>8.278 g/mL The definition of density is mass per volume. So what you need to do is divide the known mass by the known volume. So 1.663 g / 0.2009 mL = 8.27775 g/mL But you also have to keep track of significant figures. Since both 1.663 and 0.2009 have 4 significant figures each, you need to round the result to 4 significant figures. So 8.27775 g/mL = 8.278 g/mL</span>
