Answer:

Zn(OH)₂

<em>Explanation: </em>

Zn is above Fe in the activity series, so it is more readily oxidized:

Zn(s) ⟶ Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

The zinc ions go into solution.

The electrons travel from the Zn to the surface of the iron nail, where they reduce the water to hydrogen and hydroxide ions.

2H₂O(ℓ) + 2e⁻ ⟶ H₂(g) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Neither the zinc ions nor the hydroxide ions can move far through the gel.

Their concentration builds up around the hail. The ions find each other and form a precipitate.

Zn²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) ⟶  Zn(OH)₂(s)

If 35.50 cm3 of a NaOH solution are required for the complete neutralization of a 25.00cm3 sample of 0.200mol dm-3 H2SO4, what i
Morgarella [4.7K]
In this question, you are given the NaOH volume but asked for concentration. 
Don't forget that for every 1 mol of NaOH there will be 1 mol OH- ion, but for every 1 mol of H2SO4 there will be 2 mol of H- ion.
To neutralize you need the same amount of OH- and H+, so the equation should be:

OH-= H+
<span>35.50cm3 * x*1= 25cm3* 0.2mol/dm3 *2
</span>x= 10/35.5 mol/dm3= 0.2816/dm3
