Answer:

Zn (s) + HCl (aq) →  ZnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g) ↑

Explanation:

Let's define the reactants:

Zn (s)

HCl (aq)

One of the product is: H₂ (g)

This reaction can also produce ZnCl₂ (s)

Let's make the reaction:

Zn (s) + HCl (aq) →  ZnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g) ↑

Notice that the the hydrogen gas is released from the tube, that's why the up arrow.

This is a redox reaction because the Zn and H chage their oxidation states.

Zn ⇄ Zn²⁺ +  2e⁻     Oxidation (it released two electrons)

Oxidation state is increased

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ →  H₂     Reduction (It gained two electrons)  

Oxidation state is decreased

The oxidation state of elements at ground state is 0

Which of the possible compounds has a mass of 163 grams when
Simora [160]

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

In solving this problem, we must remember that one mole of a compound contains Avogadro's number of elementary entities. These elementary entities include atoms, molecules, ions etc. Recall that one mole of a substance is the amount of substance that contains the same number of elementary entities as 12g of carbon-12. The Avogadro's number is 6.02 × 10^23.

Hence we can now say;

If 163 g of the compound contains 6.13 ×10^24 molecules

x g will contain 6.02 × 10^23 molecules

x= 163 × 6.02 × 10^23 / 6.13 × 10^24

x= 981.26 × 10^23/ 6.13 ×10^24

x= 160.1 × 10^-1 g

x= 16.01 g

x= 16 g(approximately)

16 g is the molecular mass of methane hence x must be methane (CH4)
