A straight-chain alkane differs from a cycloalkane in such a way that the straight-chain has more hydrogen than the cycloalkane. In this case, straight-chain has two more Hydrogen atoms than the cyclic alkane. Basically, they differ in the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon. Straight-chain Alkane has a formula CnH2n+2 while cyclic alkane follows CnH2n.
Answer:PH2=0.994atm, mass of zinc=0.606g
Explanation:
Equation for the reaction is written as;
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) - ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
V= 240ml = 0.240L
T= 30.8oC = 303.8K
Ptotal= 1.036atm
Pwater = 32mmHg at 30oC = 0.042atm
Therefore
PH2 = Ptotal - Pwater
= 1.036-0.042atm
=0.994atm
But PV= nRT
n = PV/RT
= 0.994x0.240/0.0821x303.8
= 0.24/24.94
=0.009324moles
For the grams of zinc
n=mass in grams/molar mass
Mass in grams = no of moles x molar mass
=0.009324x65 = 0.606g
Since we have a hydrocarbon (CH4) plus Oxygen gas (O2) in the reactants and Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O) we know that this type of reaction is considered a Combustion reaction.
We know that the pH of neutral solutions is 7, for acidic solutions is less than seven and for basic solutions is greater than 7.
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log ( 1 x 10⁻⁴)
pH = 4
The answer is:
A) Acidic
