Curious Carl and his lab partner were conducting a variety of experiments to produce gases: hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. In one experiment, they added a piece of magnesium ribbon to 10 milliliters of hydrochloric acid. They observed bubbles being produced and did a variety of tests to identify the escaping gas; it proved to be hydrogen The reaction is represented by the following equation: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2(g) Assuming STP, how many moles of hydrogen gas did Carl and his partner collect if they collected 5.6L? A) 0.250 moles B) 2.78 moles C) 5.60 moles Eliminate D) 11.2 moles

The covalent compound acetylene, which is the fuel of the oxyacetylene torch used by welders, has the molecular formula c2h2. the covalent compound benzene, a commercial solvent, has the molecular formula c6h6 each of these covalent compounds contains carbon and hydrogen atoms in a one-to-one ratio. would it be correct to write the chemical formulas of each as ch? explain.

Which type of substance ionizes partially and gives off hydrogen ions when dissolved in water? a. strong acid b. strong base c. weak acid d. weak base

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.
