STOICHIOMETRY CALCULATIONS

This portion of the test includes a mass-mass stoichiometry problem. To earn full credit, you must show all the calculations used to solve the problem.



Show all your calculation work to solve the following mass-mass stoichiometry problem:



How many grams of zinc (II) chloride (ZnCl2) are produced if 6.5 grams of zinc (Zn) are used in a chemical reaction according to the following equation?



Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) ⟶ ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Verified Answer :

Answer:

14g ZnCl₂

Explanation:

We can convert grams of reactant to grams of product by converting to moles, and using the stoichiometric ratios in the reaction equation:

\(\dfrac{6.5g\text{ Zn}}{1} \times \dfrac{1\text{ mole Zn}}{65.38g\text{ Zn}}\times \dfrac{1\text{ mole ZnCl}_2}{1\text{ mole Zn}} \times \dfrac{(65.38+2(35.45))g\text{ ZnCl}_2}{1\text{ mole ZnCl}_2}\)

\(\approx 13.549g\text{ ZnCl}_2\)

\(\approx 14g\text{ ZnCl}_2\)   ... rounded to 2 significant figures
