Question

2 Zn + O2 → 2 ZnO

Answer 1

Answer:

we need 6.0 moles of zinc (Zn)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles ZnO produced = 6.0 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 Zn + O2 → 2 ZnO

For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol Oxygen to produce 2 moles Zinc oxide

Step 3: Calculate moles zinc

For 2 moles Zn we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles ZnO

For 6.0 moles 2nO produced, we need 6.0 moles of zinc (Zn) and 3.0 moles of O2 to react.
