What is the molarity of ZnCl2 that forms when 20.0 g of zinc completely reacts with CuCl2 according to the following reaction? Assume a final volume of 260 mL . Zn(s)+CuCl2(aq)→ZnCl2(aq)+Cu(s)
mass of Zn = 20.0 g
molar mass of Zn = 65.4 g/mol
number of moles of Zn = mass / molar mass
= 20.0/65.4
= 0.306 mol
moles of ZnCl2 formed = moles of Zn reacted
= 0.306 mol
volume = 260 mL = 0.260 L
molarity = number of moles of ZnCl2/ volume
= 0.306/0.260
=1.18 M
Answer: 1.18 M
