What mass of zinc is needed to react with 23.1g of phosphoric acid according to the following equation?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago

23.01 g of zinc (Zn)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

3 Zn + 2 H₃PO₄ = 3 H₂ + Zn₃(PO₄)₂

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of phosphoric acid = 23.1 / 98 = 0.236 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:

if           2 moles of H₃PO₄ are reacting with 3 moles of Zn

then      0.236 moles of H₃PO₄ are reacting with X moles of Zn

X = (0.236 × 3) / 2 = 0.354 moles of Zn

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of Zn = 0.354 × 65 = 23.01 g

Which of these describes an exothermic reaction?
Paul [167]

A nswer: -

C. Energy is released by the reaction

Explanation:-

An exothermic reaction is one in which during the progress of the reaction heat is evolved.

So energy is released by the reaction.

It cannot be created as energy is neither created nor destroyed as per the Law of conservation of energy. Energy is not transferred either.

The energy released during the progress of the reaction originates from the chemical bonds of the reactants as they break during their conversion into products.

Which of the following processes will determine the number of moles in a sample? Dividing the mass of the sample by Avogadro's n
Olenka [21]

The answer is: Dividing the number of molecules in the sample by Avogadro's number.

The Avogadro’s number is the number of atoms in 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12 (¹²C).

Na is Avogadro number or Avogadro constant (the number of particles, in this example carbon, that are contained in the amount of substance given by one mole).

The Avogadro number has value 6.022·10²³ 1/mol in the International System of Units; Na = 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

For example:

N(Ba) = 2.62·10²³; number of atoms of barium.

n(Ba) = N(Ba) ÷ Na.

n(Ba) = 1.3·10²⁴ ÷ 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

n(Ba) = 2.158 mol; amount of substance of barium.

In a common experiment in the general chemistry laboratory, magnesium metal is heated in air to produce MgO. MgO is a white soli
Digiron [165]

Explanation:

When magnesium metal burns is heated i the air it forms magnesium oxide.The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

2 moles of magnesium metal when reacts with 1 moles of oxygen it gives 2 moles of magnesium oxide which is white in color.

Some times along with formation of magnesium oxide small amount of magnesium nitride also produced due to which magnesium oxide appears grey in color .The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

3Mg+N_2\rightarrow Mg_3N_2

3 moles of magnesium combines with 1 mol of nitrogen gas to to give 1 mol of magnesium nitride.

If 0.094 moles of magnesium react with excess oxygen, how many moles of magnesium oxide would be formed?
VMariaS [17]

The equation for this reaction is

\text{Mg}+\text{O} \longrightarrow \text{MgO}

This means that for every mole of magnesium consumed, 1 mole of magnesium oxide is produced.

So, the answer is <u>0.094</u> moles.
