Answer:

Mass = 9.58 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Zn = 2g

Theoretical yield of ZnI₂ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Zn + I₂ → ZnI₂

Number of moles of Zn:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2g / 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Zn and ZnI₂.

Zn : ZnI₂

1 : 1

0.03 : 0.03

Mass of ZnI₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.03 mol × 319.22 g/mol

Mass = 9.58 g

Explain why lime is added to lakes. Refer to the problem that exists and what lime does to the lakes.

aalyn [17]

Explanation:

Lime is added to lower the acidity of lakes when pH levels go too low.

Acidic environment is harmful to aquatic ecosystems. Acidity causes some minerals, such as phosphorus and calcium, in the water to become unavailable to aquatic organisms like plants and fishes ( This means the water hardness is reduced). The low nutrients cause stress and death in the aquatic environment lowering biodiversity. Applying lime raises the pH to neutral levels and improves the health of the aquatic life in the lake. This also improves economic activities in the lake like fishing.

A 100g sample of a metal was heated to 100oC and then quickly transferred to an insulated container holding 100g of water at 22o

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

B) The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did, but the metal lost

the same amount of thermal energy as the water gained.

Explanation:

Heat capacity or thermal capacity is defined as the amount of heat required by a given mass of a material to raise its temperature by one unit which means that the heat capacity of the water, that is the quantity of heat required to cause a rise from 22°C to 35°C that is a rise of 13°C is the quantity of heat that caused the drop in temperature of the metal from 100°C to 35°C a change of 65°C

The water has more capacity to absorb heat or a higher heat capacity than the metal

However, the first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but it changes from one form to another. In this case, the thermal energy lost by the metal is the same as the thermal or heat energy gained by the water

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Explain why HS2 has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

H2S has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry because: presence of lone pair in H2S

Absence of Lone pair in BeH2

Explanation:

Structure of H2S :

Atomic number of S = 16 = 1s(2 )2s(2) 2p(6) 3s(2 )3p(4)

Outer most shell has 6 electron

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 6

Out of these 6 electrons ,

2 electrons are formed in bonding with Hydrogen

Rest 4 are non- bonding and present as lone - pair

H2S exist - sp3 hybridisation

There are 2-Lone pair on S in H2S (look at the image attached)

Structure of H2S :

Atomic number of Be = 4 = 1s(2 ) 2s(2)

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 2

These 2- electron are involved in bonding with two Hydrogen and form liner shape.*Form sp - hybridized

Hence shape is linear because it has non - lone pair.

VSEPR : According to this theory lone pair causes repulsion to the bond and cause unstability in the molecule.

Hence the bonds shifts away from lone pairs . This is why H-S bonds in H2S shifts way from lone pair
