    17.08 moles of manganese dioxide

    Explanation:

    From the balanced reaction equation;

    Zn + 2 MnO2 + 1 H2O → Zn (OH) 2 + Mn2O3 (notice that I did not put 1 as a stoichiometric coefficient. It is expected that any specie written without a coefficient should have a coefficient of 1)

    It is clear from the reaction equation that 2 moles of manganese dioxide produced 1 mole of zinc II hydroxide

    Hence x moles of manganese dioxide will produce 8.54 moles of zinc II hydroxide

    x = 2 * 8.54/1

    x = 17.08 moles of manganese dioxide
