Choose the correct coefficients to balance the following equation: __Zn + __HCl Imported Asset __ZnCl2 + __H2.1, 2, 2, 2

1, 2, 1, 1

2, 4, 2, 2

0, 2, 0, 0

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

option b = 1,2,1,1

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Zn + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

Balanced chemical equation:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

There are two atoms of hydrogen one atom of zinc and 2 atoms of chlorine on both side of equation.

The common oxidation state of zinc is +2 while tat of chlorine is -1 that's why two chlorine atoms combine with one atom of zinc to accept two electrons.

Zn⁺²Cl₂²⁻ negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude that's why over all compound is neutral.

While two atoms of hydrogen combine with each other through covalent bond by shearing the electrons.

The oxidation state of zinc is increased from 0 to +2 so it gets oxidized while that of chlorine is -1 to -2 is chlorine gets reduced.

Polished metals have a metallic luster, which means that?

Answers

Metallic luster refers to the way light casts off of a mineral. Polished metals such as gold have a metallic luster, which makes them look bright and shiny, and reflect more light than other minerals. There are also minerals that have metallic luster, but are not shiny or reflect much light, which is called dull metallic luster. 

Metallic luster - bright, shiny
Dull metallic luster - not shiny

An old river occurs at the plain course and it is at its lower stage.

Here:

  1. The river gradient is very gentle as it is on a plain.
  2. An old river would be at its depositional phase where all the sediments its carries are being laid down.
  3. It has a low velocity and a very sluggish flow.
  4. Lateral erosion is very active at this stage.
  5. The volume of the river increases substantially as more river tributaries joins.
  6. Some of the river features are flood plains, leeves, ox-bow lakes, delta e.tc.
