How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?

Chemistry

<span>0.925 grams if using hydrochloric acid in the reaction. 0.462 grams if using sulfuric acid in the reaction. 0.000 grams if using nitric acid in the reaction. Assuming you're using HCl or a similar acid for this reaction, the equation for the reaction is: Zn + 2 HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2 So each mole of zinc used, produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, or 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. So we need to look up the atomic weights of both zinc and hydrogen. Atomic weight zinc = 65.38 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Moles zinc = 30.0 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.458855919 mol Since we produce 2 moles of hydrogen atoms per mole of zinc, multiply by 2 and the atomic weight of hydrogen to get the mass of hydrogen produced. So 0.458855919 * 2 * 1.00794 = 0.92499847 grams. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.925 grams. To show the assumption of the acid used, the balanced equation for sulfuric acid would be Zn2 + H2SO4 ==> Zn(SO4)2 + H2 Which means that for every mole of zinc used, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is generated (half that produced via hydrochloric acid). If nitric acid were used, the reaction is 4Zn + 10HNO3 ==> 4Zn(NO3)2 + N2O + 5H2O Which means that NO hydrogen gas is generated. The only justification for assuming hydrochloric acid is used is that it's a fairly common acid that's easy to obtain. But as shown above with 2 alternative acids, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very dependent upon the exact chemical reaction occurring and asking "How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?" is a rather silly question unless you specify EXACTLY what the reaction is.</span>

Identify the effect of increasing acidity on the solubility of the given compounds.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

All the given compounds are basic on acidifying their solubility increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • C a_{3}\left(P O_{4}\right)_{2} solubility will increase, since it is basic in nature, on acidifying  solubility increases.
  • F e S being basic on acidification, the solubility increases.
  • M g C O_{3} is alkaline in nature, it gets neutralized and there is no increase in acidity.
  • M g B r_{2} is a salt and it shows no effect on acidification.
  • A g I is a salt but insoluble in water and shows no effect on acidification.
  • M g(O H)_{2} is strongly basic in nature, on acidifying the solubility increases.

Which is the correct Lewis structure for carbon monoxide?
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>The Lewis structure for CO has 10 valence electrons. For the CO Lewis structure you'll need a triple bond between the Carbon and Oxygen atoms in order to satisfy the octets of each atom while still using the 10 valence electrons available for the CO molecule.</span>

In which of these samples do atoms have the greatest kinetic energy
shepuryov [24]

Answer is: atoms have the greatest kinetic energy in liquid iron (2,000°C).

The average kinetic energy of molecules depends on the temperature. 

At high temperature(2,000°C), molecules of iron have greater kinetic energy than molecules of iron at low temperature (1,600°C, 65°C and 25°C)..
