Answer: Moles of Zinc for the given amount is 0.0351 moles.
Explanation:
We are given 2.3 grams of zinc and we need to find the moles of it. To calculate the moles, we use the following equation:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]
Mass of Zinc given = 2.3 grams
Molar mass of Zinc = 65.39g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Moles of Zinc}=\frac{2.3g}{65.39g/mol}\\\\\text{Moles of Zinc}=0.0351mol[/tex]
Hence, moles of Zinc for the given amount is 0.0351 moles.
