Answer:

Option B is correct. KOH is the limiting reagent, and 0.27 mole of Zn(OH)2 precipitate is produced.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles ZnCl2 = 0.36 moles

Number of moles KOH  = 0.54 moles

Step 2: The balanced equations

ZnCl2(aq) + 2 KOH(aq) → Zn(OH)2(s) + 2 KCl(aq)

For 1 mol ZnCl2 we need 2 moles KOH to produce 1 mol Zn(OH)2 and 2 moles KCl

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant.

KOH is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.54 moles). ZnCl2 is in excess. There will react 0.54/2 = 0.27 moles

There will remain 0.36 - 0.27 = 0.09 moles.

Step 4: The products

There will be produced 2 moles KCl and 1 mol Zn(OH)2. Zn(OH)2 is the precipitate produced.

For 1 mol ZnCl2 we need 2 moles KOH to produce 1 mol Zn(OH)2 and 2 moles KCl

For 0.54 moles KOH, we will produce 0.27 moles precipitate (Zn(OH)2)

Option A is not correct because 0.27 mol of Zn(OH)2 will precipitate, not 0.54 mol

Option B is correct

Option C is not correct because ZnCl2 is not the limiting reactant, but the excess reactant

Option D is not correct because ZnCl2 is not the limiting reactant, but the excess reactant

A physical property of an element is a property of an element that can observed or measured without changing the chemical nature of the element.

A chemical property of an element is a property of an element that can only be observed or measure when the chemical property of the element is altered or changed.

Based on this;
The boiling point of bromine is a physical property of bromine.
The high reactivity of bromine with many elements is a chemical property of bromine.

Which of the following statements is generally TRUE?
Vesnalui [34]

The correct answer is option d, that is, the solubility of a solid is highly dependent on temperature.  

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a component, which will get dissolved in a given concentration of solvent at a particular temperature. The temperature influences the solubility of both gases and solids. The temperature has a direct influence on solubility.  

For most of the ionic solids, enhancing the temperature elevates how briskly the solution can be formed. With the increase in temperature, the movement of the solid particles takes place briskly that enhances the chances that they will associate with the majority of the solvent particles. This leads to enhancing the rate at which the solution takes place.
