Answer:
Explanation:
the balanced chemical equation for the displacement reaction between zinc and hydrchloric acid is given as
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
mole ratio; 1 : 2 1 : 1
atomic mass of Zinc = 65.38g
atomic mass of hydrogen =1g
molecular mass of hydrgen(H₂) = 1×2=2g
from the chemical reaction above, it can be deduced that;
2g of hydrgen gas is produced from 65.38g of solid zinc
∴ 14.4g of hydrogen will be needing xg of solid zinc
x=
x = 941.472 ÷ 2
x=470.7g
14.4g of hydrogen requires 470.7g of solid zinc

Answer: -
The approximate number of atoms in a bacterium is 10¹¹
Explanation: -
We are given the mass of a bacterium is 10⁻¹⁵ kg.
We are told that the mass of a hydrogen atom is 10⁻²⁷ kg.
Finally we learn that the average mass of an atom of the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom.
Mass of an atom of bacterium = 10 x mass of hydrogen atom
= 10 x 10⁻²⁷ kg.
= 10⁻²⁶ kg.
Thus the number of atoms in a bacterium =
=
= 10¹¹
