Strontium and chlorine react to form strontium chloride with the formula SrCl2.
The correct answer is A. A test tube of zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is a compound which is a pure substance composed of two or more elements. They can only be separated or broken down into its individual elements or smaller compounds by chemical means. Therefore, the answer is a test tube of zinc oxide.
Conservation of mass is the underlying principle of balancing equation. When we balance equation, this means that we acknowledge that before and after the chemical reaction, the elements are conserved. To balance the chemical equation, we add coefficients before each reactant and product. Here are the following answers:
Reaction 1:
<span>2Al
3ZnCl2
3Zn
2AlCl3
Reaction 2:
</span><span>4NH3
3O2
2N2
6H2O</span>
<u>Given:</u>
Distance of solvent front = 68 mm
Distance of unknown = 48 mm
<u>To determine:</u>
The rf value
<u>Explanation:</u>
The retention factor or the rf value is given by the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front
RF = distance by unknown/distance by solvent
RF = 48/68 = 0.706
Ans: the RF value is 0.706
