Answer:
- 0.71963 g of Zn
- 0.80256 g of HCl
Step-by-step explanation:
The required mass of reactants can be computed from the number of moles of product.
moles of ZnCl₂ = (1.5 g)/(136.282 g) ≈ 0.0110066 moles
Then the mass of Zn required is ...
mass of Zn = (0.0110066 mol)(65.382 g/mol) = 0.71963 g
Two moles of HCl are used in the reaction with each mole of Zn, so the mass of HCl required is ...
mass of HCl = 2(0.0110066 mol)(36.458 g/mol) = 0.80256 g

<em>Comment</em>
The discrepancy in the last two decimal places of the weights above versus the calculator output below comes from rounding of moles of Zn to 4 significant digits, instead of 5 or more. The number of moles of ZnCl₂ is closer to 0.0110066.
Answer:
14 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.
Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.
Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.
This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.
Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.
We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.
And we solve from there:
So, the value of n is 7.
Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.
And the consecutive even number is 16.
