The molecular formula of zinc trioxonitrate is Zn(NO3)2.

To calculate the mass of zinc required to produce 35.8g of zinc trioxonitrate, we need to determine the molar mass of the compound.

The molar mass of zinc (Zn) is 65.38 g/mol.

The molar mass of nitrate (NO3) is calculated as follows:
Molar mass of nitrogen (N) = 14.01 g/mol
Molar mass of oxygen (O) = 16.00 g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of nitrate (NO3) = (14.01 g/mol) + (3 * 16.00 g/mol) = 62.01 g/mol.

The molar mass of zinc trioxonitrate (Zn(NO3)2) is therefore calculated as:
Molar mass = (Molar mass of zinc) + (2 * Molar mass of nitrate)
Molar mass = 65.38 g/mol + (2 * 62.01 g/mol) = 189.40 g/mol.

Now, we can calculate the mass of zinc required using the following formula:
Mass of zinc = (Mass of zinc trioxonitrate) * (Molar mass of zinc) / (Molar mass of zinc trioxonitrate)

Mass of zinc = 35.8g * 65.38 g/mol / 189.40 g/mol
Mass of zinc = 12.36 g

Therefore, approximately 12.36g of zinc will produce 35.8g of zinc trioxonitrate.
