What is the mass sample of 0.0500 moles of zinc chloride ?
1 answer:
Answer:
6.82g
0.59moles
Explanation:
1. What is the mass sample of 0.0500 moles of zinc chloride ?
Given parameters:
Number of moles ZnCl₂ = 0.05moles
Unknown:
Mass of the sample = ?
Solution:
To find the mass of a substance using the number of moles, it would be pertinent to understand what mole is.
A mole is a substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
It relates to the mass using the expression below;
Mass of a substance = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of ZnCl₂;
Atomic mass of Zn = 65.4g/mol
Cl = 35.5g/mol
Molar mass = 65.4 + 2(35.5) = 136.4g/mole
Mass of a substance = 0.05 x 136.4 = 6.82g
2. How many moles of potassium sulfide are in a 65.50g sample?
Given parameters:
Mass of K₂S = 65.5g
Unknown:
Number of moles = ?
Solution:
The number of moles of any substance is related to mass using the expression below;
Number of moles =
Molar mass of K₂S = 2(39) + 32 = 110g/mol
Number of moles = = 0.59moles

The Arrhenius equation describes the relation between the rate of reaction and temperature for many physical and chemical reactions
It is an expression that provides a relationship between the rate constant (of a chemical reaction), the absolute temperature.
The Arrhenius equation,
k = , where
k is the rate constant,
z is the collision factor,
p is the steric factor,
Ea is the activation energy,
R = 8.3245 is the ideal gas constant, and,
T is the temperature.
The activation energy by definition, is the minimum energy (or threshold energy) required for two particles of reactants upon collision to form products.
The Arrhenius equation could also be written as:
⇒ k = , where
⇒ A = zp, the Arrhenius factor.
Taking the neutral logarithm of both parties, we get:
⇒ In k = + In A,
Assuming that, A is independent of temperature, when T is increased, the equilibrium constant k will also increase and therefore, the rate of the reaction will also increase.
