Oh no... not again... Prof. Vitarelli spots Sybil running down the hall... yelling something... something about her tea cups...

Prof. Vitarelli and Prof. Snape try to hold her back. But they fail. She yells, I’ve learned another exam question from last year! Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aqueous solution of zinc(II) chloride. What is the reducing agent in this reaction? Maybe Prof. Umbridge was right in trying to remove her.

Answer:

The reducing agent is Zn.

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid.

Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ⇄ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction, which can be divided in 2 half-reactions: reduction and oxidation.

In the reduction, H⁺ gains electrons and it is considered the oxidizing agent.

2H⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ H₂

In the oxidation, Zn loses electrons and it is considered the reducing agent.

Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻

Answer:

1)The proximity of the positively charged phosphorous and negatively charged carbon stabilizes the charges.

2) Inductive effects and resonance stabilize the negative charge

Explanation:

both atoms have full octets of electrons( I.e Carbon and say phosphorus). The result can be viewed as a structure in which two adjacent atoms are connected by both a covalent and an ionic bond; normally written X+–Y−. Ylides are thus 1,2-dipolar compounds, and a subclass of zwitterions

Which equations shows the complete dissociation of a strong base?
galben [10]
The correct answer is the fourth option. The complete dissociation of a strong base is BOH + h20 -> B+ + OH- + H20 since this is the only base from the choices given. A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions.

How can there be more than 1000 different atoms when there are only about 100 different elements?
LekaFEV [45]
Actually, there are only about 100 atoms that have been yet discovered. But each element has many different kinds of atom. For instance, carbon. Do you know carbon has more than 30 or 50 different types of atoms? Well, how? There are isotopes. Don't think that there is only one carbon atom which has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 6 neutrons. There are more. C-13 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 7 neutrons. While, C-14 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 8 neutrons. I just showed you three stable isotopes of carbon(element). But, what is really an isotope?? Did you notice that all of these atoms had the same number of protons and electron but different numbers of neutrons? This is really an isotope. Well, if an atom takes a few more electrons or gives off a few electrons, it still stays the same element/ atom type. Just like that an element can have atoms of different neutron number. It may be less or more. It doesn't affect the atom much: just makes an isotope. But it does affect the atomic mass number or radioactivity of an atom. So, an element can have many different forms of isotopes of its atoms. In this way, being only 100 atoms, there can 1000 atoms or (more than that!). 

To make it more clear-

Definition of ISOTOPE: <span>any of two or more forms of a </span>chemical<span> element, having the same number of protons and electrons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons</span>
