Question
How much ZnCl2 will make from 3 mol Zn and 5 mol HCI Zn + 2HCI --> ZnCI2 + H2
Expert Solution
Step 1
GIVEN:
Moles of Zn = 3 mol
Moles of HCl = 5 mol
To calculate: Amount of ZnCl2 formed
Step 2
Given reaction is:
Zn + 2HCI -----> ZnCI2 + H2
First, we will find the LIMITING REAGENT.
According to the balanced reaction,
1 mol Zn reacts completely with 2 mol HCl.
So, 3 mol Zn will react completely with 2 x 3 mol HCl
= 6 mol HCl
But the given amount of HCl is 5 mol i.e. less than the required amount.
So, HCl act as the LIMITING REAGENT
