Answer:
Explanation:
a) Zinc has a charge of plus 2 and hydrogen gas is H₂ so HCl would have a two in front to balance the equation
b) All have charges of plus one
c) Copper has a charge of plus two (given) and it needs two chlorine atoms to become stable and hence to balance the whole equation, you would need two moles of sodium hydroxide and sodium chloride

Explanation:
To convert form grams to moles, the molar mass must be used. This is the mass (in grams) in 1 mole of a substance.
We can use the values on the Periodic Table. First, find the molar masses of the individual elements: carbon and oxygen.
- C: 12.011 g/mol
- O: 15.999 g/mol
Check for subscripts. The subscript of 2 after O means there are 2 oxygen atoms, so we have to multiply oxygen's molar mass by 2 before adding.
- O₂: 2* (15.999 g/mol)=31.998 g/mol
- CO₂: 12.011 g/mol + 31.998 g/mol =40.009 g/mol
Use the molar mass as a ratio.
Multiply by the given number of grams.
Flip the fraction so the grams of carbon dioxide cancel.
The original measurement of grams has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.
The ten thousandth place has a 5, so we round the 4 to a 5.
2.4 grams of carbon dioxide is about 0.055 moles.
