Answer:

HCl

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Zn = 50 g

Mass of HCl = 50 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Zn + 2HCl      →     ZnCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Zn:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 50 g/ 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.76 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 50 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Reactant with product.

                 Zn         :          ZnCl₂

                  1           :             1

                 0.76     :           0.76

                Zn         :             H₂

                  1           :             1

                 0.76     :           0.76

               HCl         :          ZnCl₂

                  2           :             1

                 1.4         :           1/2×1.4 = 0.7

                HCl         :             H₂

                  2           :             1

                 1.4         :           1/2×1.4 = 0.7

Less number of moles of product are formed by HCl it will act limiting reactant.

The quantity of heat required to change the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1⁰c is defined as
Alex
Specific heat is the quantity of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. It is the amount per unit mass that is required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. Every substance has its own specific heat and each has its own distinct value. The units of specific heat are joules per gram-degree Celsius (J/f C) and sometimes J/Kg K may also be used.

Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?
sesenic [268]

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR  ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.
