Answer:

185.49 grams of Zinc would react with 454g (1lb) of copper sulfate

Explanation:

Yo know the following balanced reaction:

CuSO₄(aq)+ Zn(s) →Cu(s) + ZnSO₄(aq)

You can see that by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reagents and products are part of the reaction:

  • CuSO₄: 1 mole
  • Zn: 1 mole
  • Cu: 1 mole
  • ZnSO₄: 1 mole

Being:

  • Cu: 63.54 g/mole
  • S: 32 g/mole
  • O: 16 g/mole
  • Zn: 65.37 g/mole

the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:

  • CuSO₄:63.54 g/mole + 32 g/mole + 4*16 g/mole= 159.54 g/mole ≅ 160 g/mole
  • Zn: 65.37 g/mole
  • Cu: 63.54 g/mole
  • ZnSO₄: 65.37 g/mole + 32 g/mole + 4*16 g/mole= 161.37 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts of mass of reagent and product participate in the reaction:

  • CuSO₄: 1 moles* 160 g/mole= 160 g
  • Zn: 1 mole* 65.37 g/mole= 65.37 g
  • Cu: 1 mole* 63.54 g/mole= 63.54 g
  • ZnSO₄: 1 mole* 161.37 g/mole= 161.37 g

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if 160 grams of CuSO₄ react with 65.37 grams of Zn by this reaction stoichiometry, 454 grams of CuSO₄ with how much mass of Zn will it react?

mass of Zn=\frac{454 grams of CuSO_{4} *65.37 grams of Zn}{160 grams of CuSO_{4}}

mass of Zn= 185.49 grams

<u><em>185.49 grams of Zinc would react with 454g (1lb) of copper sulfate</em></u>
