Solid aluminum metal reacts with aqueous zinc chloride to produce solid zinc metal and aqueous aluminum chloride
yuradex [85]

Answer:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Al + ZnCl₂    →    Zn + AlCl₃

Balanced Chemical equation:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

This is the example of single displacement reaction. Al displace the zinc and form aluminium chloride and zinc metal.

There are two Al three zinc and six chlorine atoms on both side of equation so it is correctly balanced.

Thus it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

How many moles of oxygen gas can 0.882 mol of hydrogen peroxide produce if decomposition is complete? 2H2O2 (l) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g
andreyandreev [35.5K]
We are given the chemical reaction and the amount of reactant used for the process. We use these data together to obtain what is asked. We do as as follows:

0.882 mol H2O2 ( 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O2 ) = 0.441 mol O2 produced

Hope this answers the question.

how many moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are required to completely neutralize 2 mol of nitric acid (HNO3)
Brut [27]

2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be needed.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sodium hydroxide is a compound which is a base and nitric acid is the acid. The formula of the nitric acid is HNO3 and that of sodium hydroxide is NaOH.

The reaction between them are

NaOH +HNO3 =NaNO3 +H2O.

So here we can see that 1 mole of sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of nitric acid to produce 1 mole of sodium nitrate and 1 mole of water.

So for 2 moles of nitric acid, 2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be required.
