Answer: Moles of Zinc for the given amount is 0.0351 moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2.3 grams of zinc and we need to find the moles of it. To calculate the moles, we use the following equation:


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Mass of Zinc given = 2.3 grams

Molar mass of Zinc = 65.39g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:


\text{Moles of Zinc}=(2.3g)/(65.39g/mol)\\\\\text{Moles of Zinc}=0.0351mol

Hence, moles of Zinc for the given amount is 0.0351 moles.
