Answer:

Here... Since there is excess HCl, you know the Zinc will be the limiting reagent.  I was able to create the reaction equation based on the info you gave: Z + 2HCl ----> ZCl2 +2H.  Now, in order to find the theoretical yield of ZCl, you need to convert Zinc from grams to moles.  Do this by dividing by its molar mass (65.38), thus: 3.68 (g) / 65.38 (g/mol) = 0.056286... moles.  

Now, using the balanced equation we made earlier, we see that 1 mole of Zinc creates 1 mole of ZCl2.  Thus our ratio is 1:1.  This makes the next step easy.  Since it is 1:1, we multiply the number of moles we have of Zinc (0.056286...) by the number of moles it will create of ZCl (1).  (0.056286)(1) = 0.056286 moles ZCl.  Now convert this to grams by multiplying by its molar mass (136.28) and you get 7.67 grams.  This is your theoretical yield.  The percent yield is found by dividing the actual amount obtained (7.12 g.) by the theoretical yield (7.67 g.) then multiply that by 100%.   When this is done, your Percent Yield is about 92.8%

How can we reduce the production of harmful gases that form acid rain
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Renewable energy sources help reduce acid rain because they produce much less pollution.
