So in this problem, your limiting reactant is the 5.00 mol of Zn, because you have an excess of hydrochloric acid.

The first step to answering this problem is to set up a balanced equation.
You start with Zn + HCl ⇒ ZnCl +H
In order to balance it, you have to know that Zinc is a +2 ion, Cl is a -1 ion, and H is a +1 ion. Each molecule must be balanced (meaning ionic charges equal to zero),  as well as the number of each element on either side of the reaction.
This gives you Zn + 2HCl ⇒ ZnCl₂ + 2H
Now, in order to find how much Hydrogen gas you have, you have to know how many atoms of Zn you have.
1 mol is 6.022 × 10²⁴ atoms (Avogadro's Number), so if you have 5 mol of Zn, you have 3.011 × 10²⁵ atoms of zinc.
Plug this into the reaction and re-balance the formula.
(3.011 × 10²⁵ Zn) + (6.022 × 10²⁵ HCl) ⇒ (3.011 × 10²⁵ ZnCl₂) +
(6.022 × 10²⁵ H)

You end up with (6.022 × 10²⁵ H), or 10.00 mol H (g)

the theoretical  yield   of  hydrogen gas is  10 g

   <u><em>calculation</em></u>

Step 1: write the equation for reaction

Zn + 2 HCl →  zncl₂  + H₂

Step 2: use the mole ratio to find the moles of H₂

from equation above Zn : H₂  is 1: 1 therefore the  moles of H₂ = 5.00 moles

Step 3: find the theoretical yield(mass) for H₂

mass = moles  × molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of H₂= 1×2  = 2 g/mol

mass  =  5  moles  × 2 g/mol  = 10 grams

In the reaction Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O, how many grams of CO2 are produced when 7.5 moles of HCl is fully reacted?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

165 of CO₂.

Explanation:

In the reaction:

Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O

2 moles of HCl reacts producing 1 mole o CO₂

If 7.5 moles of HCl reacts, moles of CO₂ produced are:

7.5 moles of HCl ₓ ( 1 mol CO₂ / 2 mol HCl) = 3.75 mol CO₂. As molar mass of CO₂ is 44g/mol, mass of CO₂ is:

3.75 mol CO₂ ₓ (44g / 1mol) = <em>165 of CO₂ </em>

1. When the temperature of a rigid hollow sphere containing 685 L of helium gas is
mote1985 [20]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

250.756 moles He

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question we are given;

Volume, L = 685 L

Temperature, T = 621 K

Pressure, P = 189 × 10 kPa

We are required to calculate the number of moles of the gas,

Using the Ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, T is the temperature, n is the number of moles, and R is the ideal gas constant.

We can replace the known variables and constant in the equation to get the unknown variable, n.

Using ideal gas constant as 8.3145 L.kPa/K/mol

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{(1890)(685)}{(8.3145)(621)}

n = 250.7557 moles

   n = 250.756 moles

The moles of helium contained in the sphere is 250.756 moles

For each pair of ions, choose the one that has the smaller radius.  Na+ or Mg2+  Cl- or K+
Drupady [299]
Mg2+...because it loses 2 electron which is on its valence shell making it empty and making it have jst 2 shells. The radius calculated from d nucleus to the new valence shell is then smaller than that of Cl^- and k+
