Moles of Zn: 26 / 65 = 0.4
Moles of S: 12.8 / 32 = 0.4

Molar ratio of Zn : S = 1 : 1
Empircal formula: ZnS

The answer is C

When a piece of zinc metal is carefully placed in a beaker of strong acid, bubbles form on the surface of the metal and begin to
kati45 [8]

Answer:

A.  a new substance is being produced.

Explanation:

The bubbles most likely indicates that a new substance is being produced by this reaction. In essence, we describe this sort of change as chemical change.

In a chemical change, new substances are usually produced. They are accompanied by the evolution or absorption of energy.

The reaction of Zinc with a strong acid to produce bubbles on the surface of the metal indicates a chemical change and the formation of a new kind of substance.

Take for example, let zinc reacts with hydrocholoric acid, HCl;

   Zn         +      2HCl      →    ZnCl₂     +     H₂

Since Zn is higher than Hydrogen in the activity series, it will displace it from HCl and liberate hydrogen gas as a product. This will cause the bubbles observed in the reaction.

This is a chemical change and new products have been formed.

B and D are wrong because they are both physical changes.

C is wrong because no information about such is provided by the problem statement.

So, when a piece of zinc metal combines with a strong acid, a new kind of substance is produced.

A substance formed when two<br> or more chemical elements are<br> chemically bonded together?
Ronch [10]

Answer: a piece of pure matter which we can see from our naked eye is termed as a substance

Explanation:

every substance has physical and chemical properties like;

                               diamond ,water ,pure sugar ,table salt e.t.c

an element is a substance made up of same type of atoms having same atomic number[protons],and cannot be easily decomposed in to a single substance by ordinary chemical reaction example,.....

                                               gold,copper,zinc and some are in liquid form like mercury,bromine and some are in gases for example, hydrogen ,oxygen, nitrogen

1. A student tried to solve the following problem by selecting the tile as shown. What, if anything, did the student do wrong?
slega [8]

Answer:

B. The student chose the correct tile, but needs to flip the tile to make the units cancel

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2AgNO₃(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq)

<em>2 moles of AgNO₃ react per mole of Cu producing 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂</em>

Thus, if you want to produce 6.75moles of Cu(NO₃)₂ you need:

6.75moles of Cu(NO_3)_2  \frac{2 mol AgNO_3 }{1 mol Cu(NO_3)_2} = 13.50 moles of AgNO₃ are needed

Thus, if you analize the tile shown by the student:

<em>B. The student chose the correct tile, but needs to flip the tile to make the units cancel</em>
