The process is below ZnCO3s HCl ZnCl2aq CO2g H2Ol ZnCL2a
The process is below:
ZnCO3(s) + HCl --> ZnCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
ZnCL2(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> Zn(OH)2 + NaCl(aq)
Zn(OH)2(s) + heat --> ZnO(s) + H2O(g)
How many moles of ZnO will be formed if 35.0 g of zinc carbonate is used originally? Thanks!
Solution
moles of ZnO=moles of ZnCO3
moles of ZnCO3=35/125
=0.28
b)moles of ZnO formed=18.5/(81)
=0.228
so %yeild=0.228*100/0.28
=81.43 %
