Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter d.

Explanation:

Data

                Zn  +  HCl   ⇒  ZnCl₂  +  H₂

- Calculate the Oxidation number of reactants and products

              Zn⁰  +  H⁺¹Cl⁻¹   ⇒  Zn⁺²Cl₂⁻¹  +  H₂⁰

- Determine which elements changed their oxidation numbers

                      Zn⁰     ⇒   Zn⁺²                Zn lost 2e⁻

                     2H⁺¹      ⇒   H₂⁰                H won 2 e⁻

-Interchange the electrons lost and won

                  2( Zn⁰     ⇒   Zn⁺²)

                  2(2H⁺¹      ⇒   H₂⁰)

-Simplify

                  2Zn⁰     ⇒   2Zn⁺²

                  4H⁺¹      ⇒   2H₂⁰

-Substitute the coefficient in the equation

                2Zn  +  4HCl   ⇒  2ZnCl₂  +  2H₂  

             Reactant       Element      Product

                  2                    Zn                2

                  4                     H                 4

                  4                     Cl                 4

- Now the reaction is balanced

What is the mass of 20.0 L of sulfur dioxide (SO2) at STP?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Mass = 57.05 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of SO₂ = 20.0 L

Temperature = standard = 273 K

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Mass of SO₂ = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

n = PV/RT

n = 1 atm ×  20.0 L / 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K× 273 k

n =  20.0  / 22.41/mol

n = 0.89 mol

Mass of SO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.89 mol × 64.1 g/mol

Mass = 57.05 g

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The correct answer is marsh.

Explanation:

A kind of wetland that generally gets formed in the transition regions between the aquatic and the terrestrial ecosystems is termed as the marsh. Different kinds of birds and animals are found within a marshland, and various herbaceous species like reeds and grasses are found in the marshy regions.  

The formation of marshes generally takes place close to the streams or lakes, and as all the mentioned characteristics resemble the wetland pictured by Samantha in the given question, thus, the kind of wetland in which Samantha was most likely in is marsh.
