    Mass of Zn required to completely react with % moles of C is 813.8g

    Explanation:

    Consider the reaction equation:

    2 ZnO + C→ 2 Zn + CO2

    The coefficient ratio of this reaction shows that for every 2 moles of ZnO, I would need 1 mole of C.

    2 moles ZnO - 1 mole C

    x moles of Zno - 5 moles C [cross multiply]

    ⇒ x = 10 moles of ZnO produced from 5 moles of C

    But 1 mole of ZnO is given as 81.38 g (i. e 65.38 + 16)

    10 moles = 81.38 * 10

    = 813.8g of Zn

    814 g

    Explanation:

    Let's consider the following reaction.

    2 ZnO + C → 2 Zn + CO₂

    The molar ratio of ZnO to C is 2:1. The moles of ZnO required to react with 5.00 mol of C are:

    5.00 mol C * (2 mol ZnO/1 mol C) = 10.0 mol ZnO

    The molar mass of ZnO is 81.38 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 10.0 moles is:

    10.0 mol * 81.38 g/mol = 814 g
