Question

Determine from the balanced chemical reaction ifthe derived mole ratio is correct or incorrect.4Zn + 10HNO3 + 4Zn(NO3)2 + N20 + 5H204 moles Zn10 moles HNO3correctincorrect

Answer 1

Answer

Correct

Explanation

$4Zn+10HNO_3\rightarrow4Zn(NO_3)_2+N_2O+5H_2O$

From the balanced chemical reaction, 4 moles of Zn reacted with 10 moles of HNO3 to produced 4 moles, 1 mole, and 5 moles of Zn(NO3)2, N2O, and H2O respectively.

Therefore, comparing the mole of Zn to HNO3, then the derived ratio is correct.
