17. What is the molarity of ZnCl2 that forms when 15 grams of Zn reacts completely with CuCl, if a final volume of 175 mL is produced?
Zn + CuCl2 → ZnCl2 + Cu

1.31M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of Zn produce 1 mole of ZnCl₂. As the reaction occurs completely, the moles of Zn added = Moles of ZnCl₂ produced. To find molarity we need the moles of ZnCl₂ and the volume of the solution in liters:

Moles Zn = Moles ZnCl₂ -Molar mass Zn: 65.38g/mol-:

15g * (1mol / 65.38g) = 0.23 moles of ZnCl₂

Volume in Liters:

175mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.175L

The molarity is:

0.23moles / 0.175L

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
