<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Galvanization is defined as the process in which a protective layer of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent the metal from rusting.

Zinc prevents the oxidation of iron and acts as a reducing agent in the process.

The half reaction for the process follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

Net chemical equation: $Zn+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Fe$

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

A 63.5 g sample of an unidentified metal absorbs 355 ) of heat when its temperature changes

insens350 [35]

0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:

Given:

mass (m) = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg

Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules

Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K

cp (specific heat capacity) = ?

the formula used for heat absorbed and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:

q = mc Δ T

c = $\frac{q}{mΔ T}$

c = $\frac{355}{63.5X 268.59}$

= 0.208 J/gm K

specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K

The specific heat capacity is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.

You have 49.8 g of O2 gas in a container with twice the volume as one with CO2 gas. The pressure and temperature of both contain

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

34.2 g is the mass of carbon dioxide gas one have in the container.

Explanation:

Moles of $O_2$ :-

Mass = 49.8 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{49.8\ g}{32\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{O_2}= 1.55625\ mol$

Since pressure and volume are constant, we can use the Avogadro's law as:-

$\frac {V_1}{n_1}=\frac {V_2}{n_2}$

Given ,

V₂ is twice the volume of V₁

V₂ = 2V₁

n₁ = ?

n₂ = 1.55625 mol

Using above equation as:

$\frac {V_1}{n_1}=\frac {V_2}{n_2}$

$\frac {V_1}{n_1}=\frac {2\times V_1}{1.55625}$

n₁ = 0.778125 moles

Moles of carbon dioxide = 0.778125 moles

Molar mass of $CO_2$ = 44.0 g/mol

Mass of $CO_2$ = Moles × Molar mass = 0.778125 × 44.0 g = 34.2 g

<u>34.2 g is the mass of carbon dioxide gas one have in the container.</u>

Zinc and magnesium metal each reacts with hydrochloric acid to make chloride salts of the respective metals, and hydrogen gas. a

M=11.20 g
m(H₂)=0.6854 g
M(H₂)=2.016 g/mol
M(Mg)=24.305 g/mol
M(Zn)=65.39 g/mol
w-?

m(Mg)=wm
m(Zn)=(1-w)m

Zn + 2HCl = ZnCl₂ + H₂
m₁(H₂)=M(H₂)m(Zn)/M(Zn)=M(H₂)(1-w)m/M(Zn)

Mg + 2HCl = MgCl₂ + H₂
m₂(H₂)=M(H₂)m(Mg)/M(Mg)=M(H₂)wm/M(Mg)

m(H₂)=m₁(H₂)+m₂(H₂)
m(H₂)=M(H₂)(1-w)m/M(Zn)+M(H₂)wm/M(Mg)=M(H₂)m{(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)}

m(H₂)=M(H₂)m{(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)}

(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}

1/M(Zn)-w/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}

w(1/M(Mg)-1/M(Zn))=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}-1/M(Zn)

w=[m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}-1/M(Zn)]/(1/M(Mg)-1/M(Zn))

w=0.583 (58.3%)

A gas of 190 mL at a pressure of 74 atm can be expected to change its pressure when its volume changes to 30.0 mL. Express its n

kozerog [31]

Answer : The new pressure of the gas will be, 468.66 atm

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : This law states that pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

or,

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of the gas = 74 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of the gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of the gas = 190 ml

$V_2$ = final volume of the gas = 30 ml

Now we put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final or new pressure of the gas.

$74atm\times 190ml=P_2\times 30ml$

$P_2=468.66atm$

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be, 468.66 atm

In a particular mass of kau(cn)2, there are 6.66 × 1020 atoms of gold. What is the total number of atoms in this sample?

Vinvika [58]

Total number of atoms in the sample is the sum of number of atoms of all the elements present in the sample.

Number of gold, $Au$ atoms in $KAu(CN)_2$ = $6.66\times 10^{20}$ atoms (given)

From the formula of compound that is $KAu(CN)_2$ it is clear that the number of potassium and gold are same whereas those of carbon and nitrogen are 2 times of them.

So, the number of atoms of each element is:

Number of potassium, $K$ atoms in $KAu(CN)_2$ = $6.66\times 10^{20}$ atoms

Number of carbon, $C$ atoms in $KAu(CN)_2$ = $2\times6.66\times 10^{20}$ atoms = $13.32\times 10^{20}$

Number of nitrogen, $N$ atoms in $KAu(CN)_2$ = $2\times6.66\times 10^{20}$ atoms = $13.32\times 10^{20}$

Total number of atoms in $KAu(CN)_2$ = Number of gold, $Au$ atoms+Number of potassium, $K$ atoms +Number of carbon, $C$ atoms + Number of nitrogen, $N$ atoms

Total number of atoms in $KAu(CN)_2$ = $6.66\times 10^{20}+6.66\times 10^{20}+13.32\times 10^{20}+13.32\times 10^{20}$

Total number of atoms in $KAu(CN)_2$ = $39.96\times 10^{20}$ atoms

Hence, the total number of atoms in $KAu(CN)_2$ is $3.996\times 10^{21}$ atoms.
