The balanced chemical reaction is:
Zn + 2AgNO3 = Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag
To determine the amount of the reactant left, we have to determine which is the limiting and the excess reactant. We do as follows:
5.65 g Zn ( 1 mol / 65.38 g) = 0.09 mol Zn
21.6 g AgNO3 (1 mol / 169.87 g) = 0.13 mol AgNO3
The limiting reactant would be silver nitrate since it is consumed completely in the reaction. The excess reactant would be zinc.
Excess Zinc = 0.09 mol Zn - (0.13 / 2) mol Zn = 0.025 mol Zn left
The resulting pressure of the gas after decreasing the initial volume from 2 L to 1 L is 3 atm.
<h3>What is
Boyle's Law?</h3>
According to the Boyle's Law at constant temperature, pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of that gas.
For the given question we use the below equation is:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where
P₁ = initial pressure of gas = 1.5 atm
V₁ = initial volume of gas = 2 L
P₂ = final pressure of gas = ?
V₂ = final volume of gas = 1 L
On putting all these values on the above equation, we get
P₂ = (1.5atm)(2L) / (1L) = 3 atm
Hence required pressure of the gas is 3 atm.
