The nature of zinc powder and Cobalt (II )oxide is heated the following reaction occurs ;

1 answer:

8 0

1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is $\mathrm{Zn}$ .

2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.

I do not see any possible answers that you have posted. But a good idea would be that it might have fossils, water currents, mud cracks, usually form in shallow seas. Hope this helps!

Answer: Mass of $CO_2$ produced in this reaction was 6.56 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$CaCO_3(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)+CaCl_2(aq)$

Mass or reactants = Mass of $CaCO_3$ + mass of $HCl$ = 16.00 + 64.80 = 80.80 g

Mass of products = mass of aqueous solution + mass of $CO_2$ + = 74.24 + x g

Mass or reactants = Mass of products

80.80 g = 74.24 + x g

x = 6.56 g

Thus mass of $CO_2$ produced in this reaction was 6.56 grams

Which of the following equations does not demonstrate the law of conservation of mass?

enot [183]

The third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

Option 3.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that the sum of the masses of reactants should be equal to the sum of the masses of the products.

For example, if we consider the first option to verify if it obeys law of conservation of mass or not, 2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

So one way to verify it is to find the mass of Na, then multiply it with 2, and then add this with 2 times of mass of chlorine. So this sum should be equal to the 2 times mass of NaCl. But it is somewhat lengthy.

Another way to easily determine this is to check if the elements are present equally in both sides. Such as, in reactant side and product side 2 atoms of Na is present . Similarly, the Cl atoms are also present in equal number in both reactant and product side. Thus this obeyed the law of conservation of mass.

Like this, if we see the second option, there also 1 atom of Na is present in reactant and product side and 2 molecules of H is present in reactant and product side, 1 oxygen is present in reactant and product side and 1 Cl is present in reactant and product side. So it also obeys the law of conservation of mass.

But in the third option, P₄ + 5 O₂→ 2 P₄O₁₀, here, there is 4 atoms of P in reactant side but in product side there is (4*2) = 8 atoms of P. Similarly, the number of atoms of oxygen in reactants and product side is also not same. So the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

The fourth option also obeys the law of conservation of mass as the number of atoms of each element is same in both the product and reactant side.

Thus, the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide reacts by the following equation:

$\text{HCl} \; (aq) + \text{NaOH} \; (aq) \to \text{NaCl} \; (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} \; (aq)$

which is equivalent to

$\text{H}^{+} \; (aq) + \text{OH}^{-} \; (aq) \to \text{H}_2\text{O}\; (l)$

The question states that the second equation has an enthalpy, or "heat", of neutralization of $-56.2 \; \text{kJ}$ . Thus the combination of every mole of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in solution would produce $56.2 \; \text{kJ}$ or $56.2 \times 10^{3}\; \text{J}$ of energy.

500 milliliter of a 0.50 mol per liter "M" solution contains 0.25 moles of the solute. There are thus 0.25 moles of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the two 0.500 milliliter solutions, respectively. They would combine to release $0.25 \times 56.2 \times 10^{3} = 1.405 \times 10^{4} \; \text{J}$ of energy.

Both the solution and the calorimeter absorb energy released in this neutralization reaction. Their temperature change is dependent on the heat capacity <em>C</em> of the two objects, combined.

The question has given the heat capacity of the calorimeter directly.

The heat capacity (the one without mass in the unit) of water is to be calculated from its mass and <em>specific</em> heat.

The calorimeter contains 1.00 liters or $1.00 \times 10^{3} \; \text{ml}$ of the 1.0 gram per milliliter solution. Accordingly, it would have a mass of $1.00 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}$ .

The solution has a specific heat of $4.184 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}$ . The solution thus have a heat capacity of $4.184 \times 1.00 \times 10^{3} = 4.184 \times 10^{3} \; \text{J} \cdot\text{K}^{-1}$ . Note that one degree Kelvins K is equivalent to one degree celsius ℃ in temperature change measurements.

The calorimeter-solution system thus has a heat capacity of $4.634 \times 10^{3} \; \text{J} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}$ , meaning that its temperature would rise by 1 degree celsius on the absorption of 4.634 × 10³ joules of energy. $1.405 \times 10^{4} \; \text{J}$ are available from the reaction. Thus, the temperature of the system shall have risen by 3.03 degrees celsius to 24.6 degrees celsius by the end of the reaction.
