Answer:
36.8g of Zinc hydroxide
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
ZnO + H₂O → Zn(OH)₂
Where 1 mole of zinc oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of zinc hydroxide.
Moles of 30.1g of ZnO (FW = 81.38g/mol) are:
30.1g ZnO ₓ (1mol / 81.38g) = 0.370 moles of ZnO
And moles of 6.7g of H₂O (FW = 18.01g/mol) are:
6.7g H₂O ₓ (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.372 moles of H₂O
As 1 mole of ZnO reacts per mole of H₂O, limiting reactant is ZnO because has a less number of moles than water.
Thus, moles of Zn(OH)₂ produced are 0.370 moles.
As Molar mass of Zinc hydroxide is 99.424 g/mol, there are formed:
0.370 moles Zn(OH)₂ ₓ (99.424g / mol) =
