Why can't the reaction, ZnCl2 + H2 → Zn + 2HCI, occur naturally?

1 answer:

Llana [10]3 years ago

Answer:

It is fairly obvious that zinc metal reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid! The bubbles are hydrogen gas. ... In fact, electrons are being transferred from the zinc atoms to the hydrogen atoms (which ultimately make a molecule of diatomic hydrogen), changing the charges on both elements.

Substance in which two or more elements are combined in a fixed proportion

Firdavs [7]

Answer: compound

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper $Cu$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water $H_2O$

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Example: Air

In a process for producing acetic acid, oxygen gas is bubbled into acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, containing manganese(II) acetate (catal

grigory [225]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of acetic acid that can be produced is 30.24 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For acetaldehyde:</u>

Given mass of acetaldehyde = 22.2 g

Molar mass of acetaldehyde = 44 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of acetaldehyde}=\frac{22.2g}{44g/mol}=0.504mol$

<u>For oxygen gas:</u>

Given mass of oxygen gas = 12.6 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{12.6g}{32g/mol}=0.394mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$2CH_3CHO(l)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CH_3COOH(l)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of acetaldehyde reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas

So, 0.504 moles of acetaldehyde will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.504=0.252mol$ of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, acetaldehyde is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of acetaldehyde produces 2 moles of acetic acid

So, 0.504 moles of acetaldehyde will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.504=0.504moles$ of acetic acid

Now, calculating the mass of acetic acid from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of acetic acid = 60 g/mol

Moles of acetic acid = 0.504 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.504mol=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic acid}}{60g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic acid}=(0.504mol\times 60g/mol)=30.24g$

Hence, the mass of acetic acid that can be produced is 30.24 grams
