    The balanced chemical reaction is:

    Zn + 2AgNO3 = Zn (NO3) 2 + 2Ag

    To determine the amount of the reactant left, we have to determine which is the limiting and the excess reactant. We do as follows:

    5.65 g Zn (1 mol / 65.38 g) = 0.09 mol Zn

    21.6 g AgNO3 (1 mol / 169.87 g) = 0.13 mol AgNO3

    The limiting reactant would be silver nitrate since it is consumed completely in the reaction. The excess reactant would be zinc.

    Excess Zinc = 0.09 mol Zn - (0.13 / 2) mol Zn = 0.025 mol Zn left
