From the equation 1 mole of Zn(s) gives 1 mole of ZnCl2(aq)
Number of moles of Zn is mass/molar mass of Zn
30.0 g /65.39 g mole^-1
=0.4588 mole
so 0.4588 mole ZnCl2 is formed (because 1 mole of Zn(s) gives 1 mole of ZnCl2(aq))
which is in 285 ml final volume
molarity is moles/volume (in L)
molarity =
0.4588 mole/0.285 L
What is the molarity of ZnCl2 that forms when 30.0g of zinc completely reacts with CuCl2 according to the following reaction? Assume a final volume of 285 mL . (please explain step by step I have no clue!)
Zn(s) + CuCl2(aq) --> ZnCl2(aq)+ Cu(s)
