This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.
The following Balanced Reaction will take place:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
In the question, we have 2 moles of Zinc and 3 moles of HCl for this reaction
<u>Amount of HCl required to completely react with 2 moles of Zn:</u>
Since we need 2 moles of HCl for every mole of Zn, we will need 2(2) = 4 moles of HCl for every 2 moles of Zn
<u>Identifying the Limiting Reagent:</u>
But we are only given 3 moles of HCl where we need 4 moles to completely react.
So, since HCl is in less amount, it is the Limiting Reagent
Beef and cheddar I believe!!!
Answer:
Explanation:
We are given the formula:
This is a molecular formula, because it contains nonmetals.
1. Name the first element
The first element is phosphorous (P). Since this is the first element and there is only one, we don't need a prefix.
2. Second element
The second element is chlorine (Cl). It has a subscript of 5, so we must add the prefix of <u>hepta</u>-.
- Phosphorous heptachlorine
Add the ending of -ide.
- Phosphorous heptachloride
The prefix used for the second element is hepta. The compound name is phosphorous heptachloride.
