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

Enthalpy of formation (kJ/mol) C6H12O6(s)-1260 O2 (g)0 CO2 (g)-393.5 H2O (l)-285.8 Calculate the enthalpy of combustion per mole
trapecia [35]

Answer : The enthalpy of combustion per mole of C_6H_{12}O_6 is -2815.8 kJ/mol

Explanation :

Enthalpy change : It is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H^o

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(reactant)]

The equilibrium reaction follows:

C_6H_{12}O_6(s)+6O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(n_{(CO_2)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2)})+(n_{(H_2O)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O)})]-[(n_{(C_6H_{12}O_6)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C_6H_{12}O_6)})+(n_{(O_2)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2)})]

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(C_6H_{12}O_6(s))}=-1260kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))}=-285.8kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(6\times -393.5)+(6\times -285.8)]-[(1\times -1260)+(6\times 0)]=-2815.8kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion per mole of C_6H_{12}O_6 is -2815.8 kJ/mol

A textbook measures 250 mm long, 225 mm wide and 50 mm thick. What is the volume of this book in mm3? What is the volume of this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

2.81 × 10⁶ mm³

2.81 × 10⁻³ m³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Length (l): 250 mm

Width (w): 225 mm

Thickness (t): 50 mm

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the textbook

The book is a cuboid so we can find its volume (V) using the following expression.

V = l × w × t = 250 mm × 225 mm × 50 mm = 2.81 × 10⁶ mm³

Step 3: Convert the volume to cubic meters

We will use the relationship 1 m³ = 10⁹ mm³.

2.81 × 10⁶ mm³ × 1 m³ / 10⁹ mm³ = 2.81 × 10⁻³ m³

Balance the following reaction. A coefficient of \"1\" is understood.
USPshnik [31]
To balance a reaction, we must say to it that the number of elements in one side is equal to the other side. For a combustion reaction such as the one given, we first need to balance the number of carbon atoms, then the hydrogen atoms and lastly the oxygen atoms.

1. How is the atom count for each element on the reactant side of a balanced chemical equation related to the atom count for eac
lbvjy [14]

Answer: The atom count for each element on the reactant side of a balanced chemical equation is equal to the atom count for each element on the product side of the same equation

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.

In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Thus there are 4 atoms of hydrogen on reactant as well as product side.

Also there are 2 atoms of oxygen on reactant as well as product side.

In the United States, the average person receives the largest dose of radiation from what source?
rodikova [14]

According to the report of US Environmental Protection Agency, majority of large dose radiation exposure comes from natural background radiation sources particularly the radioactive gases radon and thoron. This two gases form when naturally occurring elements decay. However in the case of man-made sources, the largest dose comes from medical x-rays.
