Answer:
16.38g of Zn
Explanation:
We’ll begin by balancing the equation. This is illustrated below:
2Cu + Zn(NO3)2 → Zn + 2Cu(NO3)
Molar Mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol
Mass of Cu from the balanced equation = 2 x 63.5 = 127g
Molar Mass of Zn = 65g
From the equation above,
127g of Cu produced 65g of Zn.
Therefore, 32g of Cu will produce = (32×65)/127 = 16.38g of Zn.
Therefore, 16.38g of Zn are produced
