Question

Consider the balanced equation Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2 How many

moles of ZnCl2 will be produced if 2 moles of HCl are used?

Answer 1

1 mole of ZnCl₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Just from the stoichiometric equation/ balanced equation:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(s) + H₂(g)

1 mole 2 moles 1 mole 1 mole

Therefore: 2 moles of 2HCl produce 1 mole of ZnCl₂
