its exothermic. exothermic means the reaction gives out heat. [exo meaning outside and thermic meaning heat] because its a combustion reaction, fire is there meaning lots of heat.
endothermic means it takes in heat. a good example is ammonium and water (NH3 +H20)
<span>most chemical reaction are exothermic</span>
Answer:
use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.
Example:
NaCl
one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.
2CaCl2
2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal
Answer:
32.7 g of Zn
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
Zn + 2HCl —> ZnCl₂ + H₂
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of Zn reacted to produce 1 mole of H₂
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Zn required to produce 0.5 mole of H₂. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of Zn reacted to produce 1 mole of H₂.
Therefore, 0.5 mole of Zn will also react to produce to 0.5 mole of H₂.
Thus, 0.5 mole of Zn is required.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of 0.5 mole of Zn. This can be obtained as follow:
Mole of Zn = 0.5 mole
Molar mass of Zn = 65.4 g/mol
Mass of Zn =?
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of Zn = 0.5 × 65.4
Mass of Zn = 32.7 g
Thus, 32.7 g of Zn is required to produce 0.5 mole of H₂.
