Answer:
0.2349 moles, 10.3356 g
Explanation:
The given reaction is :
The balanced reaction by equating the same number of each atom both side is :
Given that :
Amount of oxygen gas = 11.9 g
Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus, moles are:
From the reaction,
19 moles of oxygen gas on reaction forms 12 moles of carbon dioxide
Also,
1 mole of oxygen gas on reaction forms 12/19 moles of carbon dioxide
So,
0.3719 moles of zinc on reaction forms mole of carbon dioxide
<u>Moles of carbon dioxide formed = 0.2349 moles</u>
Mass of carbon dioxide = moles×Molar mass
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol
<u>Mass of carbon dioxide formed = 0.2349 ×44 g = 10.3356 g</u>
