Answer:
The law of the conservation of mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed, only converted to other forms. Therefore, the mass never changes, even if its appearance does.
Explanation:
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Oxidation means lose of electrons and increase of positive charge so the part which oxidized in this equation is Zn(s) because it converted to Zn²⁺ (i.e. lost two electrons)
I'd say he ways about 35 kilograms, but I'm probably wrong, xD
The mass of sodium sulfite that was used will be 1,890 grams.
<h3>Stoichiometric problems</h3>
First, the equation of the reaction:
The mole ratio of SO2 produced and sodium sulfite that reacted is 1:1.
Mole of 960 grams SO2 = 960/64 = 15 moles
Equivalent mole of sodium sulfite that reacted = 15 moles
Mass of 15 moles sodium sulfite = 15 x 126 = 1,890 grams
