Answer:
Explanation:
When we react Hydrochlorid Acid with zinc we have the following reaction:
2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
The hydrogen gas formed is lost to the environment, so we can affirme that in the start we have the mass for all the H, Cl and Zn atoms in the solution, but after the reaction occurs, we have only the mass for the Cl and Zn atoms.
That's why the mass is less than the original.
The law that the student was told is only applied to closed environments.
Answer: C REDUCTION
Explanation:
Guessed after knowing oxidation isn't the answer. Got right
Answer:
121 g/mol
Explanation:
To find the molar mass, you first need to calculate the number of moles. For this, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law. The equation looks like this:
PV = nRT
In this equation,
-----> P = pressure (atm)
-----> V = volume (L)
-----> n = moles
-----> R = constant (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)
-----> T = temperature (K)
Because density is comparing the mass per 1 liter, I am assuming that the system has a volume of 1 L. Before you can plug the given values into the equation, you first need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.
P = 1.00 atm R = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K
V = 1.00 L T = 25.0. °C + 273.15 = 298.15 K
n = ? moles
PV = nRT
(1.00 atm)(1.00L) = n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(298.15 K)
1.00 = n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(298.15 K)
1.00 = (24.478115)n
0.0409 = n
Now, we need to find the molar mass using the number of moles per liter (calculated) and the density.
0.0409 moles ? grams 4.95 grams
---------------------- x ------------------ = ------------------
1 L 1 mole 1 L
? g/mol = 121 g/mol
