PLS HELP Students in a chemistry class added 5 g of Zinc (Zn) to 50 g of hydrochloric acid (HCl). A chemical reaction occurred that produced zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and 6 g of hydrogen gas (H2). Zn+ HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

What is the mass of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl2)?

A. 49 g

B. 55 g

C. 61 g

D. Not enough information to determine the mass of ZnCl2

In simplest case mass of reactants is same as mass of products.

Without thinking this question deeper, mass of ZnCl2 would be 49, but..

Explanation: Reaction should be  Zn + 2 HCl ⇒ ZnCl2 + H2

Amount of zinc is  5 g / 65,38 g/mol = 0,076476 mol and amount

of Hydrogen Chloride is 50 g / 36.458 g/mol = 1,371 mol.

Althought HCl is needed 0.152 moles, zinc is an limiting reactant.

So it is possible to produce only 0.076476 mol Hydrogen and its mass

is 0.154 g.  Mass of ZnCl2 would be 0.076476 mol · (65.38 + 2·35.45) =

 10.42 g

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
