Question

Determine from the balanced chemical reaction ifthe derived mole ratio is correct or incorrect.4Zn + 10HNO3 + 4Zn(NO3)2 + N20 + 5H204 moles Zn(NO3)21 mole N20correctincorrect

Answer 1

CORRECT

Explanations:

Given the balanced chemical reaction given as:

`4Zn+10HNO_3\rightarrow4Zn\mleft(NO_3\mright)_2+N_2O+5H_2O`

From the equation, 4 moles of Zn(NO3)2, also reacted with 1 mole of N2O. Hence the mole ratio from the equation will be the ratio of 4 moles of Zn(NO3)2 to 1 mole of N2O.

Hence the derived mole ratio as described is true.

`(4molesZn(NO_3)_2)/(1moleofN_2O)`
