Calculate the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0ml of 0.25m chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess. also write and balance an equation.

The balanced chemical equation for the production of chromium metal from the reaction of chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc is:

3 Zn + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃ → 2 Cr + 3 Zn(NO₃)₂

This is a redox reaction, which is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reagents, causing a change in their oxidation states. In the proposed reaction, Cr oxidation state goes from +3 to 0, becoming metallic chromium, while Zn goes from being Zn⁰ to Zn²⁺.

The mass of chromium metal produced in the above reaction will be,

425.0 mL x x   x x = 5.52 g

So, the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess is 5.52 g of Cr.
