write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of zncl2 with excess NaOH to produce Na2Zn(oh)4 sodium zincate. what mass of sodium zincate can be produced from 2.00 g of ZNCl2 with excess Naoh by this reaction?

Verified Answer :

\(4NaOH _{(aq)} + ZnCl_{2}_{(aq)} ----\ \textgreater \ Na_{2}Zn(OH)_{4}_{(ppt)} + 2NaCl (aq)\)
 
\(mol = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\)
∴  \(mol of ZnCl_{2} = \frac{2.00 g}{[(65)+(35.5 * 2)g/mol}\)
                                    =  \(\frac{2.00 g}{136 g/mol}\)
                                    =  0.0147 mol

\(Moles of Na_{2}Zn(OH)_{4} :\)
\(ratio of ZnCl_{2} : Na_{2}Zn(OH)_{4}\)
                       1      :       1
∴ \(Moles of Na_{2}Zn(OH)_{4} \) = 0.0147 mol

Mass = Molar Mass Mol
∴ \(Mass of Na_{2}Zn(OH)_{4} \) = [(23
2)+(65)+(16 4) + (14)] g/mol 0.0147 mol
                                                       = 179 g/mol
0.0147 mol
                                                       = 2.63 g
