Answer:

C. Corrosive waste

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is formed when hydrogen chloride gas is dissolved in water. The gas is toxic when inhaled and dissolves very readily in water to form the acid.

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid as it ionizes completely in aqueous solutions to produce chloride ions and hydronium ions.

The concentrated acid is very corrosive in that it dissolves many other substances. Therefore, great care must be taken when handling the concentrated form of the acid.

It poses an environmental hazard due to its corrosive nature. Also, in industries and science laboratories, concentrated hydrochloric acid can corrode metal pipes and should not be drained into pipes without first being diluted.

However, the acid is very important in many industrial as well as laboratory procedures.

Determine the mass in grams of 3.75 x 10^21 atoms of zinc. (the mass of one mole of zinc is 65.39 g)

Nastasia [14]

Answer: The mass in $3.75 \times 10^{21}$ atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.

Explanation:

Given: Atoms of zinc = $3.75 \times 10^{21}$

It is known that 1 mole of every substance contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms. So, the number of moles in given number of atoms is as follows.

$Moles = \frac{3.75 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}\\= 0.622 \times 10^{-2}\\= 0.0062 mol$

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of zinc (molar mass = 65.39 g/mol) is calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\0.0062 mol = \frac{mass}{65.39 g}\\mass = 0.405 g$

Thus, we can conclude that the mass in $3.75 \times 10^{21}$ atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.

What is the pressure of a fixed volume of hydrogen gas at 38.8°C if it has a pressure of 1.36 atm at 15.0°C?

Rainbow [258]

Hello There! ^_^

Your question: What is the pressure of a fixed volume of hydrogen gas at 38.8°C if it has a pressure of 1.36 atm at 15.0°C..?

Your answer: P1/ T1= P2/ T2

Change C to Kelvin

273+ C= K

38.3+ 273= 311K

15.0+ 273= 288K

2.38/ 288= P2/ 311.3

740.894= 288 (P2)

P2= 2.57 atm.

Thus, you got you answer!

  Hope this helps!
