Chapter 7, Problem 7.88E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of $1.50\text{M}\text{HCl}$ required to react completely with $0.500\text{g}$ of zinc metal is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The stoichiometry of a chemical species that is involved in a chemical reaction represents the amount of the chemical species involved in the chemical reaction. The stoichiometry of a chemical species helps in calculating the expected quantity of reactant and product. The stoichiometry of a chemical species is also represented in number of moles. The number of moles of a substance is given as,

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Where,

• $m$ represents the mass of the substance.

• $M$ represents the molar mass of the substance.
