How many mole of ZnCl2 will be produced from 55.0 g of Zn, assuming HCL is available in excess

0.84 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles  of ZnCl₂ produced = ?

Mass of Zn = 55.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Zn  →  ZnCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Zn:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 55.0 g/ 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.84 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Zn with ZnCl₂ from balance chemical equation.

                                      Zn          :             ZnCl₂

                                         1          :               1

                                      0.84       :           0.84

So from 55 g of Zn 0.84 moles of zinc chloride will be produced.

rosa was looking for patterns to predict the products of chemical reactions. she recorded three similar decomposition reactions in the table.she should record 2licl + 3o2.

in the last row of the table. it is the thermal decomposition of chlorate lithium, hence, she should record these products as: lithium chloride ( 2licl ) and oxygen ( 3o2 )   2 > 2 licl + 3o2.
