Answer:
23 g of Zn will produce 0.352 mole of zinc chloride.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
mass of Zn = 23 g
Moles of ZnCl = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2Zn + CuCl₂ → 2ZnCl + Cu
Number of moles of Zn:
Number of moles of Zn = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles of Zn = 23 g / 65.38 g/mol
Number of moles of Zn = 0.352 mol
now we will compare the moles of ZnCl with Zn because it is limiting reactant.
Zn : ZnCl
2 : 2
0.352 : 0.352
So 23 g of Zn will produce 0.352 mole of zinc chloride.
