How many mole of ZnCl2 will be produced from 55.0 g of Zn, assuming HCL is available in excess

0.84 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles  of ZnCl₂ produced = ?

Mass of Zn = 55.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Zn  →  ZnCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Zn:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 55.0 g/ 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.84 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Zn with ZnCl₂ from balance chemical equation.

                                      Zn          :             ZnCl₂

                                         1          :               1

                                      0.84       :           0.84

So from 55 g of Zn 0.84 moles of zinc chloride will be produced.
