Answer:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Explanation:
Let us consider the complete redox reaction:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2
And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.
Therefore, for this reaction;
Oxidation Half equation is:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Reduction Half equation is:
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)
I believe the answer is: Protons and Neutrons
Protons weigh 1 amu while neutrons also weigh 1 amu. I’m not sure if they are talking about how many there is.
Given:
No of atoms present= 8.022 x 10^23 atoms
Now we know that 1 mole= 6.022 x 10^23 atoms
Hence number of moles present in 8.022 x 10^23 atoms is calculated as below.
Number of moles
= 8.022 x 10^23/6.022x 10^23
=1.3 moles.
Hence we have 1.3 moles present.
Answer:
Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen
Explanation:
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.
Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.
Answer:
32g
Explanation:
potassium nitrate has solubility of about 67g per 100g of water at 40°C, which means that potassium nitrate solution will contain 67g of dissolved salt for every 100g of water.
since at this temperature, our solution contains 35g of potassium nitrate 100g of water. The solution will be unsaturated because of the less potassium nitrate.
to make saturated solution,
mass of potassuim nitrate = 67g - 35g
= 32g
which means dissolving another 32g of potassium nitrate in solution at 40
°C will make saturated solution.
