The chemical reaction is written as:
2Zn + O2 = 2ZnO
We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. We use this value and the relation of the substances in the reaction to calculate what is asked. We do as follows:
2.10 g ZnO ( 1 mol / 81.408 g ) ( 1 mol O2 / 2 mol ZnO ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 0.414 g O2 is needed
Hydrogenated vegetable oil is a preservative, thus, the correct option is D. Hydrogenated vegetable oil are used by food industries to prevent fat rancidity in order to give their product a longer shelf life. Hydrogenated oils are very good preservatives because all the enzymatic activities in the oil has been neutralized during the hydrogenating process.
