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
