Ferromagnesian silicate minerals (i looked it up)
<span>0.925 grams if using hydrochloric acid in the reaction.
0.462 grams if using sulfuric acid in the reaction.
0.000 grams if using nitric acid in the reaction.
Assuming you're using HCl or a similar acid for this reaction, the equation for the reaction is:
Zn + 2 HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2
So each mole of zinc used, produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, or 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. So we need to look up the atomic weights of both zinc and hydrogen.
Atomic weight zinc = 65.38
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794
Moles zinc = 30.0 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.458855919 mol
Since we produce 2 moles of hydrogen atoms per mole of zinc, multiply by 2 and the atomic weight of hydrogen to get the mass of hydrogen produced. So
0.458855919 * 2 * 1.00794 = 0.92499847 grams.
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.925 grams.
To show the assumption of the acid used, the balanced equation for sulfuric acid would be
Zn2 + H2SO4 ==> Zn(SO4)2 + H2
Which means that for every mole of zinc used, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is generated (half that produced via hydrochloric acid).
If nitric acid were used, the reaction is
4Zn + 10HNO3 ==> 4Zn(NO3)2 + N2O + 5H2O
Which means that NO hydrogen gas is generated.
The only justification for assuming hydrochloric acid is used is that it's a fairly common acid that's easy to obtain. But as shown above with 2 alternative acids, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very dependent upon the exact chemical reaction occurring and asking "How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?" is a rather silly question unless you specify EXACTLY what the reaction is.</span>
Explanation:
<u>Physical properties of ZBr₂</u>
The compound is an ionic substance. Therefore it will have properties of ionic compounds. Some of these properties are:
- it is a hard solid usually with high melting points or a liquid with high boiling points.
- Soluble in water and insoluble in non-polar solvents.
- It can conduct electricity in aqueous solutions or in molten form.
- it will undergo a fast reaction.
<u>Z is a metal</u>
To form ionic compound, a metal will combine with a non-metal. Bromine is a non-metal and it is expected that Z will be a metal. This is because ionic bonds involves transfer of electron from one specie to the other. Metals are usually the donor and non-metals are the receptor. This is how ionic bond forms. The electrostatic attraction resulting from the ions produced the ionic bond.
<u>Formula of the oxide</u>
ZO
Z 0
+2 -2
It is obvious that Z has 2 valence electrons. It will lose the two valence electrons to attain stability.
Oxygen requires 2 electrons to resemble Neon. This combination will give a compound ZO.

Answer:
The carbons of the acetyl group oxidize which generate CO2, and in turn H2O.
Explanation:
The pyruvic acid that is generated during glycolysis enters the mitochondria. Inside this organelle, the acid molecules undergo a process called oxidative decaborxylation in which an enzyme of several cofactors is involved, one of which is coenzyme A. Pyruvic acid is transformed into an acetyl molecule and these are been introduced to the begining of the Krebs Cycle where the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C). As the molecule cycles the two carbons of the acetyl oxidize and are released in the form of CO2. Then the energy of the Krebs cycle becomes sufficient to reduce three NAD +, which means that three NADH molecules are formed. Although a small portion of energy is used to generate ATP, most of it is used to reduce not only the NAD + but also the FAD which, if oxidized, passes to its reduced state, FADH2
