Determine the mass of the formed salt, if it is known that zinc, weighing 260 g. reacted with sulfuric acid.

When zinc is dissolved in sulfuric acid, zinc sulfate is formed. It has the following chemical formula ZnSO4. From 1 mole of zinc it is possible to synthesize 1 mole of its sulfate.

Let’s calculate the chemical amount of a substance contained in 26 grams of zinc.

M Zn = 65 grams / mol;

N Zn = 260/65 = 4 mol;

The same amount of zinc sulfate will be synthesized.

Let’s calculate its weight.

M ZnSO4 = 65 + 32 + 16 x 4 = 161 grams / mol;

m ZnSO4 = 161 x 4 = 644 grams;
