The bond in MgO is stronger than the bond in CO.

The bond in CO is stronger than the bond in MgO.

a.

Impossible to determine to given data.

b.

The bonds in MgO and CO are equally strong.

c.

The bond in MgO is stronger than the bond in CO.

d.

The bond in CO is stronger than the bond in MgO.

Explanation / Answer

1)

Molar mass of Zn = 65.38 g/mol

mass of Zn = 11.0 g

we have below equation to be used:

number of mol of Zn,

n = mass of Zn/molar mass of Zn

=(11.0 g)/(65.38 g/mol)

= 0.1682 mol

the reaction taking place is:

Zn + 2 HCl —> ZnCl2 + H2

moles of H2 formed = moles of Zn reacted

= 0.1682 mol

molar volume at STP = 22.4 L/mol

SO,

volume = number of mol * molar volume

= 0.1682 mol * 22.4 L/mol

= 3.77 L

Answer: 3.77 L
