Answer:
Metals in general have they chemical property of reacting with an acid. Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. This is a chemical property. Chemical change results in one or more substances of entirely different composition from the original substances.
The following Balanced Reaction will take place:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
In the question, we have 2 moles of Zinc and 3 moles of HCl for this reaction
<u>Amount of HCl required to completely react with 2 moles of Zn:</u>
Since we need 2 moles of HCl for every mole of Zn, we will need 2(2) = 4 moles of HCl for every 2 moles of Zn
<u>Identifying the Limiting Reagent:</u>
But we are only given 3 moles of HCl where we need 4 moles to completely react.
So, since HCl is in less amount, it is the Limiting Reagent
No it is not
hope this helped
