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

A neutral atom in the ground state of Sulfur has its outer most valence electron in which orbital? f d
Natasha_Volkova [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The outermost valence electron enters the p orbital.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in outer most orbital of an atom.

Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons.

Electronic configuration of sulfur atom is 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

The number of valence electrons are 2 + 4 = 6

These 6 electrons enter s-orbital and p-orbital but the outermost valence electron will enter the p-orbital.

Hence, the outermost valence electron enters p orbital.

Describe all the relationships between pressure, volume, and<br> temperature
hammer [34]
  • <u>The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, provided that the volume does not change (Amontons's law)</u><u>.</u>

  • <u> The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law).</u>

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)
bixtya [17]
Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
 Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
