Answer:
16.46 g.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometry problem.
- We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:
<em>2Cu + Zn(NO₃)₂ → Zn + 2Cu(NO₃).</em>
- It is clear that 2.0 moles of Cu reacts with 1.0 mole of Zn(NO₃)₂ to produce 1.0 mole of Zn and 2.0 moles of Cu(NO₃).
- We need to calculate the number of moles of the reacted Cu (32.0 g) using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass</em>
- The no. of moles of Cu = mass / atomic mass = (32.0 g) / (63.546 g/mol) = 0.503 mol.
<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>
2.0 moles of Cu produces → 1.0 mole of Zn, from the stichiometry.
0.503 mole of Cu produces → ??? mole of Zn.
- The no. of moles of Zn produced = (1.0 mol)(0.503 mol) / (2.0 mol) = 0.2517 mol.
∴ The grams of Zn produced = no. of moles x atomic mass of Zn = (0.2517 mol)(65.38 g/mol) = 16.46 g.
The Chemistry Regents is one of the four science Regents exams. The other three are Earth Science, Living Environment, and Physics. You'll need to pass at least one of these four exams to graduate high school.
If it is located at the second to last row of the periodic table (the halogen family), has seven electrons on it's outer shell, and has an oxidation number of -1, it is a halogen.
Hope this helps : D
