Zinc and hydrochloric acid react to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas according to

Chemistry

Explanation:

Mole ratio of Zn to HCl = 1 : 2.

If we use all 2.0mol of Zn, we would need 2.0 * 2 = 4.0mol of HCl. However we only have 3.0mol of HCl.

Therefore HCl is limiting.

Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?

babunello [35]

Answer:

e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction. The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.

Determine the molality of a solution of methanol dissolved in ethanol for which the mole fraction of methanol is 0.135. Give you

Alja [10]

Answer: The molality of the solution is 0.11 m

Explanation:

We are given:

Mole fraction of methanol = 0.135

This means that 0.135 moles of methanol is present in 1 mole of a solution

Moles of ethanol = 1 - 0.135 = 0.865 moles

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of ethanol = 0.865 moles

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

$0.865mol=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.865mol\times 46g/mol}=39.79g$

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

$Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

Where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (methanol) = 0.135 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (methanol) = 32 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (ethanol) = 39.79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of methanol}=\frac{0.135\times 1000}{32\times 39.79}\\\\\text{Molality of methanol}=0.106m\approx 0.11m$

Hence, the molality of the solution is 0.11 m

A sample of gold has a mass of 15.7 g and displaces 0.81 cm3 of eater in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of gold?

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: 19.4 g/cm3

Explanation: density is the relationship between mass over volume.

So density of gold is 15.7g/0.81cm3 = 19.4 g/cm3

Determine whether each molecule given below is polar or nonpolar. of2

sergejj [24]

Answer : The molecule $OF_2$ is a polar molecule.

Explanation :

Polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is asymmetrical then the molecule is polar.

Non-polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is symmetrical then the molecule is non-polar.

The given molecule is, $OF_2$

The electronegativities of oxygen and fluorine are different. The molecular geometry of $OF_2$ is bent. As, Fluorine is more elctronegative than the oxygen. So, the arrows putting towards the more electronegative element i.e, fluorine. These arrows do not balance each other. Due to this, the asymmetrical arrangement of these bonds makes the molecule polar.

Hence, the given molecule $OF_2$ is polar.
