Which of the following is a single replacement reaction? ( a. ba(oh)2 + h2so4 → baso4 + 2h2o ( b. 2mg + o2 → 2mgo (c. h2o+ co2 → h2co3 (d. zn + h2so4 → znso4 + h2

The correct answer is option d, that is, Zn + H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄ + H₂

A single displacement reaction refers to a kind of chemical reaction in which one element substitutes another element in a chemical reaction. The more reactive element will substitute the less reactive element. This is illustrated with the help of reactivity series, as the metal that is present above in the series will substitute the metal that is present below in the series readily. From the given equations, Zn + H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄ + H₂ is a kind of single displacement reaction.  

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
