Use the electron-transfer method to balance this equation:
1 answer:
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

Answer:
Na+ is positively charged as it loses an electron
Cl- is negatively charged as it gains an electron
Answer:
helium family or neon family
Explanation:
you can use p
Explanation:
Atoms never gain protons; they become positively charge only by losing electrons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced: CAT-eye-on). You may have notice that the number of neutrons in each of these ions was not specified.
Answer:
I think its might be 1 because the ionic numbers for CA is +2 and for P its +3
Answer:
Evaporation
Explanation:
Heat makes molecules move and eventually evaporate.
