4. how many grams of zinc metal will react completely with 8.2 liters of 3.5 m hcl? show all of the work needed to solve this problem.

zn (s) + 2 hcl (aq) zncl2 (aq) + h2 (g)

How many moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) solute are in 155 grams of an 85.5 percent by mass solution?

1) Calculate the mass of solute

% = [mass of solute / mass of solution] * 100 =>

mass of solute = [% / 100] * mass of solution = [85.5/100] * 155 g = 132.525 g

2) Pass to moles using the molar mass, MM, of NaCl

MM = 23 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol

n = mass (g) / MM = 132.525 / 58.5 = 2.27 mol
 
the second option of the list

4. How many grams of zinc metal will react completely with 8.2 liters of 3.5 M HCl? Show all of the work needed to solve this problem.

Zn (s) + 2 HCl (aq) ---> ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)

From the molarity, calculate the number of mols of HCl

M = n/V => n = M*V = 3.5 mol/liter * 8.2 liter = 28.7 mol HCl

From the reaction: [1 mol Zn / 2 mol HCl] * 28.7 mol HCl = 14.35 mol Zn

Pass to mass, using the atomic mass of Zn

mass = n*atomic mass = 14.35 mol * 65.4 g/mol =  938.5 g Zn

938.5 g.

The answer is b on plato.

What does that mean you dum bum
