Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) From the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of HCl is required to react with 1 mole of Zn Mass of Zn = 9.55 g Molar mass of Zinc = 65.41 g/mol Number of moles = mass / molar mass Moles of Zn = 9.55 / 65.41 = 0.146 mol Moles of HCl required = 2 x moles of Zn = 2 x 0.146 = 0.292 mol
659. 48 g of water is produced
Answer:
The forward reaction is an exothermic reaction.
Explanation:
An exothermic reaction is one in which energy is released, usually in the form of heat hence the enthalpy of the reaction is negative. When a reaction exothermic, the energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of the products hence the excess energy is given out as heat. The reactants lie at a higher energy level in the reaction profile compared to the products.
When we look at the reaction given in the question, NO(g) ⇌ 12N2(g) + 12O2(g) ΔH = −90.3 kJ , we can easily see from the thermochemical reaction that the forward reaction is exothermic, energy is released by the reaction system as evidenced by the negative enthalpy of reaction.
It is true because the sun rays hit towards the equator creating warm temperatures near the equator then the poles
