A compound accepts electrons from another substance to form a covalent bond. Which term best describes this

In an experiment, zinc chlorate decomposed according to the following chemical equation.

mote1985 [20]

Answer : The correct expression is, (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $Zn(ClO_3)_2$

$\text{ Moles of }Zn(ClO_3)_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Zn(ClO_3)_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }Zn(ClO_3)_2}=\frac{150g}{232.29g/mole}=\frac{150}{232.29}mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $O_2$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Zn(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow ZnCl_2+3O_2$

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $Zn(ClO_3)_2$ react to give 3 mole of $O_2$

So, $\frac{150}{232.29}$ moles of $Zn(ClO_3)_2$ react to give $\frac{150}{232.29}\times \frac{3}{1}$ moles of $O_2$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $O_2$

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=\text{ Moles of }O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }O_2$

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=(\frac{150}{232.29}\times \frac{3}{1})mole\times (31.998g/mole)=\frac{150\times 3\times 31.998}{232.29\times 1}g$

Therefore, the correct expression for the mass of oxygen gas formed is, (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Which statement correctly compares ice and liquid water?

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

B. Particles of liquid water have more energy than particles of ice.

Explanation:

We can work this out through eliminating the wrong statements.

A. Both liquid water and ice have definite shapes.

This is wrong because, as stated in the question, water is a liquid, and one of the properties of liquids is that they change shape to fit the shape of their container. If it changes shape, it does not have a "definite" shape.

B. Particles of liquid water have more energy than particles of ice.

This is correct, and here is why. There are 3 states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. As you apply heat energy to an object at each state, the particles receive more energy and can move around more (this is kinetic energy). In the case of liquid (water) and solid (ice), particles in solids do not have much energy and stay in rigid formations. They do vibrate slightly, but only on the spot (this is what gives solids "definite" shapes). On the other hand, particles in liquids have more energy than particles in solids, which means that they can move more (more kinetic ENERGY) and do not stay in formations (this is why they do not have "definite" shapes). Therefore, particles in liquids (water) have more energy than particles in solids (ice), and this statement is correct.

C. Liquid water has a lower temperature than ice.

This is wrong because liquids have more energy than solids. As explained earlier, the reason why particles in liquids have more energy is because more HEAT energy has been applied to them. In the same way, solids have less energy because less HEAT energy has been applied to them. Less heat means a lower temperature. (Also you can use common sense for this one, ice feels colder than liquid water, right?)

D. Ice has a definite volume, but liquid water does not.

This is wrong because of the law of conservation of mass. This law states that particles (or matter or volume) cannot be created or destroyed. When ice melts and becomes liquid water, it has not lost volume: the particles have just gained more energy. This question is most likely there to confuse you, because all substances have definite volumes.

I hope this helps!

Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising alternative to gasoline engines in part because they release water instead of carbon dioxide

enot [183]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B) Two molecules of H2 and a molecule of O2 must collide at one time

Explanation:

2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(g)

2 1 2

Considering the given reaction, for water molecule to be form, two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen must collide at the same time. The product obtained from the collision is two molecules of water as steam. 2 H2O(g)
