The reaction between zinc (Zn) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) would yield zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and magnesium (Mg).
MgCl2 aq plus Zn s is the oxidation half-reaction for Mg s plus ZnCl2 aq.
Zn + 2HCl --- ZnCl2 + H2 Mg + 2HCl --- MgCl2 + H2
Mg(s) Mg2+ + 2e-
MgCl2 is classified as ionic. It is a metal and a non metal.
Yes, ZnCl2 (zinc chloride) is a salt. It is an inorganic compound composed of a metal cation (Zn2+) and a non-metal anion (Cl-), which are held together by ionic bonds.
To calculate the mass of zinc metal required to produce zinc chloride, you need to find the molar mass of zinc chloride (ZnCl2). The molar mass of ZnCl2 is 136.3 g/mol, which means that for every mole of ZnCl2 produced, you need 1 mole of zinc metal. Since 1 mole of ZnCl2 corresponds to 2 moles of zinc (from the formula ZnCl2), the mass of zinc metal required is 2.40g * (65.38 g Zn/ 136.3 g ZnCl2) = 1.15g.
No, ZnCl2 does not react with dilute HCl because ZnCl2 is already a product of the reaction between zinc metal and HCl. So, no further reaction occurs when ZnCl2 is added to dilute HCl.
yes as zinc is oxidised and hydrogen is reduced
MgCl2 is added to a solution of EDTA to prevent the formation of insoluble metal hydroxides when titrating with EDTA. This helps to ensure that the EDTA only chelates with the target metal ions in the solution without interference from other metal hydroxides. MgCl2 acts as a masking agent for other metal ions present in the solution.
yes, with the formation of zinc chloride - ZnCl2.
The chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when zinc metal is added to a solution of copper II chloride is: Zn + CuCl2 -> Cu + ZnCl2.
