PLS HELP Students in a chemistry class added 5 g of Zinc (Zn) to 50 g of hydrochloric acid (HCl). A chemical reaction occurred t

hat produced zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and 6 g of hydrogen gas (H2).
Zn+ HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

What is the mass of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl2)?

A. 49 g

B. 55 g

C. 61 g

D. Not enough information to determine the mass of ZnCl2

Answer: In simplest case mass of reactants is same as mass of products.

Without thinking this question deeper, mass of ZnCl2 would be 49, but..

Explanation: Reaction should be  Zn + 2 HCl ⇒ ZnCl2 + H2

Amount of zinc is  5 g / 65,38 g/mol = 0,076476 mol and amount

of Hydrogen Chloride is 50 g / 36.458 g/mol = 1,371 mol.

Althought HCl is needed 0.152 moles, zinc is an limiting reactant.

So it is possible to produce only 0.076476 mol Hydrogen and its mass

is 0.154 g.  Mass of ZnCl2 would be 0.076476 mol · (65.38 + 2·35.45) =

 10.42 g

Define an arrhenius base and describe properties of bases. use an example to explain how an arrhenius base will behave in water.
murzikaleks [220]

An Arrhenius base is a molecule that when dissolved in water will break down to yield an OH^- or hydroxide in solution.

<h3>What is Arrhenius base?</h3>

An Arrhenius base is a compound that increases the OH− ion concentration in aqueous solution.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when dissolved in an aqueous solution, increases the concentration of hydroxide, or OH^-, ions in the solution.

Bases Properties

Arrhenius bases that are soluble in water can conduct electricity.

Bases often have a bitter taste and are found in foods less frequently than acids. Many bases, like soaps, are slippery to the touch.

Bases also change the colour of indicators. Red litmus turns blue in the presence of a base (see figure below), while phenolphthalein turns pink.

Some bases react with metals to produce hydrogen gas.

Acids (pH < 7.0) react with bases (pH > 7.0) to produce a salt and water. When equal moles of an acid and a base are combined, the acid is neutralized by the base. The resulting mixture will have a more neutral pH.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons. In other words, it increases the number of H+ ions in the water. In contrast, an Arrhenius base dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions, OH^-.

Example, sodium hydroxide, is added to an aqueous solution. NaOH dissociates into sodium, Na^+, and hydroxide, OH^-, ions.

Why do you think elements must be heated before they emit colored light?
Mademuasel [1]
The colored light emitted is energy and in order to emit energy the element should first obtain energy. The energy absorbed by the substance can be in the form of radiation, heat or electricity. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
