Answer:

Option C. Zn(s) + CoCI2(aq) —> ZnCl2 (aq) + Co(s)

Explanation:

The activity series of metals gives a clearer understanding of how metals displaces other metals in solution. Metals higher in the activity series will always displace those lower in the activity series.

Zinc, Zn is higher in the activity series than cobalt, Co. Therefore, zinc, Zn will displace cobalt, Co in any solution.

Considering the options given above, only option C. reflect the reaction and it is also balanced.

Zn(s) + CoCI2(aq) —> ZnCl2(aq) + Co(s)

motikmotik
<span>The answer is 4. The molecules of each material entice each other over dispersion (London) intermolecular forces. Whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas hinge on the stability between the kinetic energies of the molecules and their intermolecular magnetisms. In fluorine, the electrons are firmly apprehended to the nuclei. The electrons have slight accidental to stroll to one side of the molecule, so the London dispersion powers are comparatively weak. As we go from fluorine to iodine, the electrons are far from the nuclei so the electron exhausts can more effortlessly misrepresent. The London dispersion forces developed to be increasingly stronger.</span>

A 2.20 g sample of a compound gave 5.63 g CO2 and 2.30 g H2O on combustion in air. The compound is known to contain only C, H, O
ICE Princess25 [194]

The simplest formula is C₅H₁₀O.

We must calculate the masses of C, H, and O from the masses given.

<em>Mass of C</em> =5.63 g CO₂ × (12.01 g C/44.01 g CO₂) = 1.536 g C

<em>Mass of H</em> = 2.30 g H₂O × (2.016 g H/18.02 g H₂O) = 0.2573 g H

<em>Mass of O</em> = Mass of compound - Mass of C - Mass of H

= (2.20 – 1.536 – 0.2573) g = 0.406 g

Now, we must convert these masses to moles and find their ratios.

From here on, I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

<u>Element  Mass/g    Moles     Ratio    Integers </u>

     C         1.536     0.1279     5.038        5

     H       0.2573    0.2553  10.05         10

     O       0.406      0.0254    1                 1

The empirical formula is C₅H₁₀O.
