Answer:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Explanation:
Let us consider the complete redox reaction:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2
And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.
Therefore, for this reaction;
Oxidation Half equation is:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Reduction Half equation is:
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)
Answer:
Letters
Explanation:
For example, today we use the periodic table which is full of elements named with 1 or 2 letters. Like how Helium is He and Sodium is Na. Hope this helps!!!
Answer:
C. Carbon
Explanation:
Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55, followed by Tin at 1.96, Silicon at 1.90 and the least electronegative would be Lead at 1.87.
Explanation:
21. The given molecule for cracking is tetradecane.
On cracking it forms one mole of decane (C10H22) and two moles of ethene gas.
The chemical equation is shown below:
22. The essential condition for the formation of an ester is the reaction of alcohol and acid in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.
Thus among the given options, the first option is the correct one.
23. Isomers of butanol are shown below:
It is 2-butanol.
The position of -OH group changes to the second carbon.
