53. A piece of zinc reacts completely with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), to produce an aqueous solution of
zinc chloride, ZnCl2(aq), and hydrogen gas.
a. Use the data shown below to determine the
enthalpy of reaction per mole of zinc.
AH; of HCl(aq) = -167.2 kJ/mol
AH; of ZnCl2(aq) = -488.2 kJ/mol
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
b. What mass of zinc must be used for 123 kJ of heat
to be given off?

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
