a) Given reaction:

Zn + 2MnO2 + H2O → Zn(OH)2 + Mn2O3

1 mole of Zn combines with 2 moles of MnO2

Now:

# moles Zn present = 17.5/65.38 = 0.2677 moles

# moles of MnO2 present = 31.0/86.94 = 0.3566 moles

Since # moles of MnO2 is less than Zn i.e. it is not present in the 2:1 ratio (MnO2:Zn), MnO2 will be the limiting reagent

b) Based on stoichiometry:

2 moles of MnO2 produces 1 mole of Zn(OH)2

Thus, moles of Zn(OH)2 produced form the limiting reactant = 0.3566/2 = 0.1783 moles

Mass of Zn(OH)2 = 0.1783*99.42 = 17.73 g

Complete Question

The rate of a certain reaction is given by the following rate law:

$rate = k [H_2][I_2]$

rate Use this information to answer the questions below.

What is the reaction order in $H_2$ ?

What is the reaction order in $I_2$ ?

What is overall reaction order?

At a certain concentration of H2 and I2, the initial rate of reaction is 2.0 x 104 M / s. What would the initial rate of the reaction be if the concentration of H2 were doubled? Round your answer to significant digits. The rate of the reaction is measured to be 52.0 M / s when [H2] = 1.8 M and [I2] = 0.82 M. Calculate the value of the rate constant. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:

The reaction order in $H_2$ is n = 1

The reaction order in $I_2$ is m = 1

The overall reaction order z = 2

When the hydrogen is double the the initial rate is $rate_n = 4.0*10^{-4} M/s$
