The balanced chemical reaction for the substances given would be as follows:

Zn + 2HCl = ZnCl2 + H2

We are given the amounts of the reactants used in the reaction. We use these amounts to determine which is the limiting and excess reactant. We do as follows:

10 g Zn (1 mol / 65.38 g) = 0.1530 mol
10 g HCl (1 mol / 36.46 g) =  0.2743 mol

From the the stoichiometric ratio which is 1 is to 2, the limiting reactant would be hydrochloric acid and the excess would be zinc metal.

Mass of zinc that remains = 0.1530 - (0.2743 / 2) = 0.0159 g Zn

A compound composed of nickel and fluorine contains 9.11 g ni and 5.89 g f. what is the empirical formula of this compound
aalyn [17]
Empirical formula is the simplest formula showing the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound. Calculated as shown;
 we start by calculating the number of moles of each atom;
moles of nickel = 9.11 g ÷ 58.7 g = 0.155 moles 
moles of fluorine = 5.89 g ÷ 19 g = 0.31 moles
Then we get the ratio of the moles of nickel to that of flourine
 That is 0.155 : 0.31  (dividing by the smallest)
            0.155/0.155 : 0.31/0.155
we get 1:2  ( the simplest ratio)
Therefore the empirical formula is nif2

H+(aq) + OH–(aq) → H2O(l) + 55.8 kJ In this reaction there is conservation of
pentagon [3]
In the equation given above, there is conservation of MASS, CHARGE AND ENERGY.
These three parameters are usually conserved during the course of chemical reactions. When any of these parameter experience a reduction during the course of chemical reaction, such loss is always gained by other elements involved in the same reaction, so that at the end of the day, they are not considered as lost.

Diethyl ether is produced from ethanol according to the following equation:
juin [17]
The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(l)

We are given the yield of  CH3CH2OCH2CH3 and the amount of ethanol to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point for the calculations.

Theoretical amount of product produced:
329 g CH3CH2OH ( 1 mol / 46.07 g ) ( 1 mol CH3CH2OCH2CH3 / 2 mol CH3CH2OH ) (74.12 g / mol ) = 264.66 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3 

% yield = .775 = actual yield / 264.66


actual yield = 205.11 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3
