Answer: The products of electrolysis are Zn(l) and $Cl_2$ gas

Explanation:

Electrolysis of a subastance is breaking it into its constituents by the action of electrical current.

In the electrolysis of molten zinc chloride, zinc metal is produced at the cathode which is a negative electrode and chlorine gas produces as the anode which is a positive electrode.

$ZnCl_2(l)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2Cl^-$

At anode : $2Cl^-(l)\rightarrow 2e^-+Cl_2(g)$

At cathode : $Zn^{2+}(l)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(l)$

2.54 mL of ethanol to mol ethanol (Hint: the density of ethanol is 0.789<br> g/mL.)

Katarina [22]

0.04350179862

Explanation:

Make sure to check for sig figs though. Basically, you have 2.54 mL and you multiply that by the 0.789 g/mL and mL cancels out and you are left with 2.00406g. There are 46.06844 grams per mol of ethanol, so to cancel out grams we multiply by 1/46.06844. And then we are left with 0.04350179862 mol

What mass of oxygen reacts when 84.9 g of iron is consumed in the following reaction: Fe+O2= Fe2O3

konstantin123 [22]

First we will calculate the number of moles of Iron:
$n = \frac{m}{M}
$ , where n is the number of moles, m is the mass of iron in the reaction and M is the Atomic weight.
$n= \frac{84.9}{55.845} = 1,52$ moles of Iron.
The same number of moles of Oxygen will take part in the reaction.
So $1,52= \frac{mOxygen}{32}$ where 32 is the Atomical Weight of Oxygen (16 x 2).
=> $mOxygen=32*1,52=48,64$ g

What is the hybridization of the C atoms in C2Cl4 ?

Dovator [93]

Answer:

sp2

Explanation:

Orbital hybridization is defined as the changes in the orbitals of atoms when they pair with electrons of other atoms to form chemical bonds.

C atoms in C2Cl4 or tetrachloroethene have a total of three bond pairs, two with each chlorine atom and one with other carbon atom and zero lone pairs. Thus, C atoms in C2Cl4 is sp2 hybridized.

Hence, the correct answer is "sp2".

How can you minimize a collision summary

ElenaW [278]

One of the ways to minimize a collision is to slow down: When you can't find an escape and you're definitely going to collide with something, you should slow your vehicle down as much as possible.

Hope this helps ^^
