<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

Why are fibers birefringent
horrorfan [7]

Inevitable manufacturing imperfections in optical fiber leads to birefringence, which is one cause of pulse broadening in fiber-optic communications. Such imperfections can be geometrical (lack of circular symmetry), due to stress applied to the optical fiber and/or due to bending of the fiber.

Approximately how many formula units of NaCl are in 116.88g of table salt (NaCl), knowing that the molar mass of NaCl is 58.44g/
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

116.88g of table salt (NaCl) contains two formula units

Explanation:

Now,

We know that 1 formula unit of sodium chloride has a molar mass of 58.44g/mol

Hence;

Mass of 1 formula unit = 58.44g

Mass of x formula units = 116.88g

x = 116.88g * 1 formula unit/58.44g

x = 2 formula units

Therefore;

116.88g of table salt (NaCl) contains two formula units

Hich statement describes the process of fusion, but not the process of fission?
lesantik [10]

The answer is A. this process is only in the research phase

The process of fusion involves merging of atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei resulting in the release of enormous amounts of energy. Fusion takes place when two low mass isotopes, typically isotopes of hydrogen, unite under conditions of extreme pressure and temperature. Scientists continue to work on controlling nuclear fusion in an effort to make a fusion reactor to produce electricity. However, progress is slow due to challenges with understanding how to control the reaction in a contained space.
