What is the idea of continental drift theory

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)

How is energy related to the change of state represented by the model? atoms gain energy as a solid changes to a liquid. atoms gain energy as a solid changes to a gas. atoms lose energy as a solid changes to a liquid. atoms lose energy as a solid changes to a gas.

Asample of tin (ii) chloride has a mass of 0.49 g. after heating, it has a mass of 0.41 g.  what is the percent by mass of water in the hydrate?   %
