Answer:

0.9moles of Zn are produced

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the reaction:

ZnO + 2Na → Na2O + Zn

1 mole of ZnO reacts with 2 moles of Na to produce 1 mole of Na2O and 1 mole of Zn

For 2 moles of sodium present, 1 mole of Zn is produced (The conversion factor is 2mol Na = 1mol Zn

If 1.8 moles of sodium are present:

1.8mol Na * (1mol Zn / 2mol Na) =
