<u>Answer:</u> The mass of zinc chloride that can be produced is 54.1 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For zinc:</u>

Given mass of zinc = 26.0 g

Molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of zinc}=\frac{26g}{65.4g/mol}=0.397mol

  • <u>For HCl gas:</u>

Given mass of HCl gas = 42 g

Molar mass of HCl gas = 36.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of HCl}=\frac{42g}{36.5g/mol}=1.15mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of zinc and chlorine gas follows:

Zn+2HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc reacts with 2 moles of HCl

So, 0.397 moles of zinc will react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.397=0.794mol of HCl

As, given amount of HCl is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, zinc is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc produces 1 mole of zinc chloride

So, 0.397 moles of zinc will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.397=0.397moles of zinc chloride

Now, calculating the mass of zinc chloride from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of zinc chloride = 136.3 g/mol

Moles of zinc chloride = 0.397 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.397mol=\frac{\text{Mass of zinc chloride}}{136.3g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of zinc chloride}=(0.397mol\times 136.3g/mol)=54.1g

Hence, the mass of zinc chloride that can be produced is 54.1 grams

kow [346]

Answer:

2.6 ×10^-42

Explanation:

From

∆G= -RTlnK

∆G= -237.2 KJmol-1 or -237.2×10^3 Jmol-1

R= 8.314 Jmol-1K-1

T= 25°C + 273= 298K

-237.2×10^3= 8.314 × 298 × ln K

ln K= -237.2×10^3/2477.572

K = 2.6 ×10^-42

Define "Mutarotation"
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mutarotation refers to the change in the optical rotation or optical activity of a solution due to the change in the equilibrium of the two anomers. It depends upon the optical activity and ratio of the anomeric forms in the solution.

To measure the optical rotation of a given solution, a polarimeter can be used and thus the ratio of the anomeric forms can be calculated.
