<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

Which actions represent endothermic reactions? Check all that apply. an instant ice pack becoming cold, splitting a gas molecule
DerKrebs [107]
Answer is: an instant ice pack becoming cold, splitting a gas molecule and baking bread.

<span>Endothermic reaction is chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases.
</span>In ice pack, <span>reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings (endothermic reaction), lowering the surrounding temperature.
For splitting molecule and baking bread we must add energy to break bonds between atoms.</span>

When cooking frozen cheese ravioli, the directions say to put the 255 grams of filled pasta into 3 quarts of boiling water. why
kondaur [170]
<span>When cooking frozen cheese ravioli, you should use three quarts of water instead of one so that the raviolis have room to move around in the boiling water and so that while they are moving around, they will not stick to each other or the pan.</span>

Identify and explain the process shown below. Name any two products obtained during this process and state their uses.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

This is heating limestone

Explanation:

Process:

limestone is heated strongly. After a while, the limestone begins to go cloudy. Test tube is heated too much that it is beginning to  soften it. After removing limewater, test tube cools down, the pressure in the test tube drops and air pressure pushes the cold the liquid into the hot test tube with terrible result.

Products:

Limestone is also known as calcium carbonate and Limewater
