Answer:
185.5156 g
Explanation:
The reaction of copper sulfate with zinc is shown below as:
Given that :
Amount of copper sulfate = 454 g
Molar mass of copper sulfate = 160 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus, moles are:
From the reaction,
1 mole of copper sulfate reacts with 1 mole of zinc
Thus,
2.8375 moles of copper sulfate reacts with 2.8375 moles of zinc
Moles of Zinc that should react = 2.8375 moles
Mass of zinc= moles×Molar mass
Molar mass of zinc = 65.38 g/mol
Mass of zinc = 2.8375 ×65.38 g = 185.5156 g
