The balanced chemical reaction is:
<span>2 I2 + KIO3 + 6 HCl ---------> 5 ICl + KCl + 3 H2O
</span>
We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.
28.6 g ICl (1 mol / 162.35 g ICl ) ( 2 mol I2 / 5 mol ICl ) ( 253.81 g I2 / 1 mol I2 ) = 17.88 g I2
CO2, C2H2, BeF2, XeF2, etc all these molecules have linear geometry.
Answer: In simplest case mass of reactants is same as mass of products.
Without thinking this question deeper, mass of ZnCl2 would be 49, but..
Explanation: Reaction should be Zn + 2 HCl ⇒ ZnCl2 + H2
Amount of zinc is 5 g / 65,38 g/mol = 0,076476 mol and amount
of Hydrogen Chloride is 50 g / 36.458 g/mol = 1,371 mol.
Althought HCl is needed 0.152 moles, zinc is an limiting reactant.
So it is possible to produce only 0.076476 mol Hydrogen and its mass
is 0.154 g. Mass of ZnCl2 would be 0.076476 mol · (65.38 + 2·35.45) =
10.42 g
