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⁻

Three solutions contain a certain acid. The first contains 10% acid, the second 30%, and the third 50%. A chemist wishes to use
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

To prepare 50L of 32% solution you need: 11L of 30% solution, 22L of 50% solution and 17L of 10% solution.

Explanation:

A 32% solution of acid means 32L of acid per 100L of solution. As the chemist wants to make a solution using twice as much of the 50% solution as of the 30% solution it is possible to write:

2x*50% + x*30% + y*10% = 50L*32%

<em>130x + 10y = 1600 </em><em>(1)</em>

<em>-Where x are volume of 30% solution, 2x volume of 50% solution and y volume of 10% solution-</em>

Also, it is possible to write a formula using the total volume (50L), thus:

<em>2x + x +y = 50L</em>

<em>3x + y = 50L </em><em>(2)</em>

If you replace (2) in (1):

130x + 10(50-3x) = 1600

100x + 500 = 1600

100x = 1100

<em>x = 11L -Volume of 30% solution-</em>

2x = 22L -Volume of 50% solution-

50L - 22L - 11L = 17 L -Volume of 10% solution-

I hope it helps!

The name carbohydrate comes from the fact that many simple sugars have chemical formulae that look like water has simply been ad
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The maximum mass of water produced is  m__{H_2O}} =116 \ g

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of  sucrose is m_s  = 200 \ g

    The chemical formula for  sucrose is  C_{12} H_{22} O_{11}

The chemical equation for the dissociation of sucrose  is

          C_{12} H_{22}O_{4} \to 12C + 11H_2O

The number of moles of  sucrose can be evaluated as

        n =  \frac{m}{Z}

Where Z is the molar mass of sucrose which has a constant value of

      Z  = 342 \ g/mol

So  

    n = \frac{200}{342}

   n =0.585

From the chemical equation one mole of sucrose produces 11 moles of water so  0.585 moles of sucrose will produce x moles of  water

Therefore

          x =  \frac{0.585 * 11}{1}

         x = 6.433 \ moles

Now the mass of water produced is mathematically represented as

         m__{H_2O}} =  x * Z__{H_2O}

 Where  Z__{H_2O} is the molar mass of water with a constant values of  Z__{H_2O}} = 18 \ g/mol

  So  

        m__{H_2O}} =  6.43* 18

       m__{H_2O}} =116 \ g

If 2.9g of water is heated from 23.9C to 98.9C, how much heat (in calories) was added to the water?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that

ΔH=m C ΔT

where ΔH is the change in enthalpy (j)

m is the mass of the given substance which is water in this case

ΔT IS the change in temperature and c is the specific heat constant  

we know that given mass=2.9 g

ΔT=T2-T1 =98.9 °C-23.9°C=75°C

specific heat constant for water is 4.18 j/g°C

therefore ΔH=2.9 g*4.18 j/g°C*75°C

ΔH=909.15 j
