If 2.0 mol of Zn is mixed with 3.0 mol of HCl, which reactant will be limiting?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Soloha48 [4]2 years ago
8 0

The following Balanced Reaction will take place:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

In the question, we have 2 moles of Zinc and 3 moles of HCl for this reaction

<u>Amount of HCl required to completely react with 2 moles of Zn:</u>

Since we need 2 moles of HCl for every mole of Zn, we will need 2(2) = 4 moles of HCl for every 2 moles of Zn

<u>Identifying the Limiting Reagent:</u>

But we are only given 3 moles of HCl where we need 4 moles to completely react.

So, since HCl is in less amount, it is the Limiting Reagent

Define shielding and effective nuclear charge. What is the connection between the two?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The relation between the shielding and effective nuclear charge is given as

Z_{eff} = Z -S

where s denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge

Z - atomic number

Explanation:

shielding is referred to as the repulsion of an outermost electron to the pull of electron from valence shell.  Higher the electron in valence shell higher will be the shielding effects.  

Effective nuclear charge is the amount of net positive charge that valence electron has.

The relation between the shielding and the effective nuclear charge is given as  

Z_{eff} = Z -S

wheres denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge  

Z - atomic number

1. A mixture of 3 gases (A, B, and C) has a total pressure of 240kPa. If the partial pressure of
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

78 kPa

Explanation:

The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures:

240 = Pa + Pb + Pc

240 = 107 + 55 + Pc

Pc = 78 kPa

Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution. Zn(s)+MnO−4(aq)→ Zn+2(aq)+Mn+2(aq)
devlian [24]

Answer:

2MnO₄⁻ + 5Zn + 16H⁺ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 5Zn²⁺

Explanation:

To balance a redox reaction in an acidic medium, we simply follow some rules:

  1. Split the reaction into an oxidation and reduction half.
  2. By inspecting, balance the half equations with respect to the charges and atoms.
  3. In acidic medium, one atom of H₂O is used to balance up each oxygen atom and one H⁺ balances up each hydrogen atom on the deficient side of the equation.
  4. Use electrons to balance the charges. Add the appropriate numbers of electrons the side with more charge and obtain a uniform charge on both sides.
  5. Multiply both equations with appropriate factors to balance the electrons in the two half equations.
  6. Add up the balanced half equations and cancel out any specie that occur on both sides.
  7. Check to see if the charge and atoms are balanced.

Solution

                            Zn + MnO₄⁻ → Zn²⁺ + Mn²⁺

The half equations:

                      Zn → Zn²⁺                          Oxidation half

                      MnO₄⁻ → Mn²⁺                  Reduction half

Balancing of atoms(in acidic medium)

                     Zn → Zn²⁺

                    MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Balancing of charge

                   Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻

                    MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻→ Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Balancing of electrons

         Multiply the oxidation half by 5 and reduction half by 2:

                          5Zn → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻

                        2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻→ 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

Adding up the two equations gives:

              5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

The net equation gives:

         5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ → 5Zn²⁺ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O
