Answer:

Co(NO3)2 + H2

Explanation:

The full balanced reaction equation of the reaction is shown below;

2HNO3(aq) + Co (s)-------> Co(NO3)2(aq) + H2(g)

One of the properties of metals is that metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids. This property is only exhibited by metals which are above hydrogen in the electrochemical series.

This implies that the ability to displace hydrogen from aqueous solution depends on the reduction potential of the metal. Metals having more negative reduction potentials than hydrogen can displace it from aqueous solution.

Cobalt II having a negative reduction potential of about -0.28 V can displace hydrogen from a dilute acid. Hence the answer.

Answer:

2. Co(NO3)2 + H2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we are evidencing a simple displacement reaction wherein the cobalt is able displace the hydrogen to produce cobalt (II) nitrate and gaseous hydrogen as a result of cobalt's higher activity:

$2 HNO_3 + Co\rightarrow Co(NO_3)_2+H_2$

Therefore, answer is 2. Co(NO3)2 + H2.

Best regards.

What is the concentration of a solution?

Anon25 [30]

Concentration Definition. In chemistry, concentration refers to the amount of a substance per defined space. Another definition is that concentration is the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution. Concentration usually is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume.

Label the slightly negative and slightly positive parts of the water molecule. Use this illustration to explain polarity.

Daniel [21]

The water molecule is a polar molecule which would mean that there is an uneven distribution of charges. Each molecule of water has partial positive and partial negative end. The partial positive charges is found in the H atoms while the partial negative is at the O atom. This is due to the the unequal sharing of the electrons.

The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C

Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.
