When molybdate (MoO3) and Zinc (Zn) are heated together they react in this equation:
1 answer:
Answer: The mole ratio of Zn to ZnO is 3: 3.
Explanation:
According to law of conservation of mass, mass can be neither be created nor be destroyed. The mass on reactant side must be equal to the mass on product side. Thus the atoms of each element on both side of the reaction must be same.
The balanced chemical reaction is:
Here 3 moles of Zn combine with 2 moles of to give 1 mole of
and 3 moles of
. Thus the mole ratio of Zn to ZnO is 3: 3.

The metals will lose electrons while the non metals will gain electrons in order to attain octet structure.
An ion can be cation (positively charged) or anion (negatively charged).
Cations attain octet structure (8) by losing electron(s) while anions become stable or attains octet structure (8) by gaining electron(s).
The remaining elements are completed as follows to attain octet structure;
