Best Answer

Balanced equation first.

Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2

0.5 mole Zn (2 moles HCl/1 mole Zn)

= 1 mole HCl

================you do not have this much moles HCl

0.75 moles HCl (1 mole Zn/2 mole HCl)

= 0.375 moles Zn

===================you have more moles Zn than this

So. HCl limits this reaction.

What is the reaction when you mix zinc carbonate and hydrochloric acid?

You will get a positive result for hydrogen because the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid produces zinc chloride and hydrogen. The chlorine atoms from the hydrochloric acid attach to the zinc, leaving the hydrogen behind and thus, you have hydrogen.

How many grams of hydrochloric acid are reacted when 1.80 mol of zinc is reacted with 7.10 mol of hydrochloric acid?

A lot of that hydrochloric acrid is excess and some grams will not react, I think. Balanced equation first. Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2 Check to make sure of limiting reactant; I suspect zinc. 1.80 moles Zn (2 mole HCl/1 mole Zn) = 3.60 moles HCl You have a lot more than that, Zn limits and will drive the reaction 1.80 moles Zn (2 moles HCl/1 mole Zn)(36.458 grams/1 mole HCl) = 131 grams of hydrochloric acid reacted with that Zinc amount ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
