Answer:

32.7 g of Zn

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Zn + 2HCl —> ZnCl₂ + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Zn reacted to produce 1 mole of H₂

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Zn required to produce 0.5 mole of H₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Zn reacted to produce 1 mole of H₂.

Therefore, 0.5 mole of Zn will also react to produce to 0.5 mole of H₂.

Thus, 0.5 mole of Zn is required.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 0.5 mole of Zn. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of Zn = 0.5 mole

Molar mass of Zn = 65.4 g/mol

Mass of Zn =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Zn = 0.5 × 65.4

Mass of Zn = 32.7 g

Thus, 32.7 g of Zn is required to produce 0.5 mole of H₂.

A reaction between substances Y and Z is

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer : The value of activation energy for this reaction is 108.318 kJ/mol

Explanation :

The Arrhenius equation is written as:

$K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}$

Taking logarithm on both the sides, we get:

$\ln k=-\frac{Ea}{RT}+\ln A$ ............(1)

where,

k = rate constant = $2.95\times 10^{-3}L/mol.s$

Ea = activation energy = ?

T = temperature = 435 K

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mole

A = pre-exponential factor = $3.00\times 10^{+10}L/mol.s$

Now we have to calculate the value of rate constant by putting the given values in equation 1, we get:

$\ln (2.95\times 10^{-3}L/mol.s)=-\frac{Ea}{8.314J/K.mol\times 435K}+\ln (3.00\times 10^{10}L/mol.s)$

$Ea=108318.365J/mol=108.318kJ/mol$

Therefore, the value of activation energy for this reaction is 108.318 kJ/mol

A solution is 40 cetic acid by mass. the density of this solution is 1.049 g/ml. Calculate the mass of pure acetic acid in 220 m

taurus [48]

The mass of pure acetic acid in 220 ml of the given solution at 20°C is 92.311 g

<h3>What is Acetic acid?</h3>

Acetic acid is a type of carboxylic acid and also known as ethanoic acid

Its formula is CH₃COOH.

It is an organic compound and is a colorless liquid

It is mostly used in the production of vinegar

40 % acetic acid by mass means,

40 g of acetic acid is dissolved in 100 g of solution.

The density of solution at 20°C,

$\rho = 1.049 g/ml$

We know,

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

$V = \frac{m}{\rho}$

The volume of the solution, $V = \frac{100}{1.049}$ = 95.33 ml

95.33 ml of solution contains 40 g of pure Acetic acid

220 ml of solution contains $\frac{40 \times 220}{95.33}$ = 92.311 g of pure Acetic acid

Thus, the mass of pure Acetic acid in 220 ml of solution at 20°C is 92.311 g
