<p>beer's is easy. A= absorbance, a= absorbtivity (specific for the ion) b (specific for couvette size, and c is concetnration. Some years they dont even give it to you on the sheet because it isnt on the test. its too easy to be on the test,</p>

In the laboratory, H2(g) can be produced by adding which of the following to 1M HCl (aq)?
I. 1M NH3 (aq)
II. Zn(s)
III. NaHCO3(s)</p>
<p>(a) I only
(b) II only
(c) III only
(d) I and II only
(e) I, II, and III</p>
<p>thanks in advance

<p>B is the answer. Metals react with HCl in a redox reaction where the metal oxidizes and the hydrogen ion reduces to hydrogen gas.</p>
<p>NH3 doesn't work, it's just acid base with no redox (hydrogen gets donated to ammonia).</p>
<p>Sodium bicarbonate/baking soda doesn't work because once again it's just an acid base reaction with a hydrogen being donated to HCO3, forming carbon dioxide and water.</p>
<p>Q is the reaction quotient, it determines which way the reaction will proceed. Ksp is the solubility constant and only takes the products into consideration because the reactant will be a solid (therefore, the concentration does not change).</p>
<p>I don't understand how they can't not tell how the reaction part will be graded... I wonder what would happen if everyone just bombed the test</p>
