2 The reaction between zinc carbonate and hydrochloric acid can be used to make zinc chloride. The equation for this reaction is: ZnCO_(3)(s)+2HCl(aq)arrow ZnCl_(2)(aq)+H_(2)O(l)+CO_(2)(g) 6.25 g of ZnCO_(3) was added to a solution containing 1.825 g of HCI. a Which reactant is in excess? Show your reasoning. b What mass of zinc chloride would you expect to make? (A, values: Zn=65,Cl=35.5,H=1)

Question

Answer 1

1.

is in excess.2. The mass of

produced is

.

Answer 2

## Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation:

## Step 2: Calculate the molar masses of the reactants and products:###

:

###

:

###

:

## Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of each reactant:### Moles of

:

### Moles of

:

## Step 4: Determine the limiting reactant:### According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of

reacts with 2 moles of

. Therefore, 0.05 moles of

would require:

Since we only have 0.05 moles of

,

is the limiting reactant.## Step 5: Calculate the mass of

produced:### Moles of

produced:

### Mass of
