\(Zn + H_2 SO_4 → ZnSO_4 + H_2\)

in the above reaction, how much zinc will be left undissolved if 2.00g of zinc is treated with 10cm^3 of 1.0 M of \(H_2SO_4\)?
[Zn =65, s = 32, O = 16, H = 1]

A.

1.35g

B.

1.00g

C.

0.70g

D.

0.65g

E.

0.00g

Correct answer is A

\(Zn + H_2 SO_4 → ZnSO_4 + H_2\)

1 mole of Zn = 1 mole \(H_2SO_4\)

no of moles of \(H_2SO_4\) = C X V = 1 X 10/1000 = 0.01moles.

0.01mole \(H_2SO_4\) = 0.01 mole Zn

mass of Zn = 0.01 x 65(given) = 0.65g

therefore, the mass of undissolved Zn = 2.00(given) - 0.65 = 1.35g.
