Balanced equation is:

Zn(s) + I2(s) --> ZnI2(s)

Pick any initial mass of Zn and I2, and convert those masses to moles:

100 g Zn / 63.4 g/mol = 1.58 moles

100 g I2 / 253.8 g/mol = 0.394 mol I2

Since these two react in a 1:1 ratio, you will have used 0.394 moles of Zn to react with the 0.394 moles of I2. That would leave 1.58 - 0.394 = 1.186 moles of Zn unreacted.

So, the fraction of the original zinc remaining would be 1.186 / 1.58 = .75

What is complete reaction?

COMPLETE reaction - ALL of the reactants are reacted into different products. INCOMPLETE reaction - NOT ALL of the reactants are reacted into different products. ie. some of the original substance remains.


Is wrought iron a ferrous material?

Yes. All the various irons and steels are ferrous by definition, from the Latin for "iron". ' NB: I replaced the original answer completely as it not only failed to answer the question at all, even incorrectly, but was merely an obscenity.


Can chemically changed substances be brought back to their original states?

Chemical reactions are reversible if you apply enough energy, and use the right technique, but even then, information is going to be lost. Here is an example. If you burn a book, the book is converted into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and a small amount of ash. New paper can be made from the carbon dioxide and water vapor if those chemicals are absorbed by growing trees, which are then converted into paper. But the words that were printed on the original book are not going to appear on the new paper. You can print them again, if you wish, but only if that information has been saved separately. The combustion products no longer have the information that was in the book.


How much hydrogen-3 will remain after 60 years if the original sample have a mass 80.0 g and a the half-life of hydrogen-3 is 12 years?

Fraction remaining = 0.5^n where n = # of half lives that have elapsed60 yrs x 1 half life/12 yrs = 5 half lives have elapsed Fraction remaining = 0.5^5 = 0.03125 mass remaining = 0.03125 x 80.0 g = 2.5 g remaining


Given that zinc reacts with iodine in the fixed mass ratio of 1 gram of zinc to 3.88 grams of iodine how many grams of iodine are required to completely react with 4.2 grams of zinc?

16.296 grams. Just multiply both sides of the ORIGINAL ratio by 4.2

Can you convert a whole number to a fraction?

Yes, for example 6 could be converted to the fraction 6/1 The posh word for this is a reciprocal. Basically meaning 1 under something. . Simply put a 1 under any original number to create a fraction.


How do you change a fraction into a mixed decimal?

The question is regarded as, "How do you change a fraction into a mixed number ?An improper fraction (where the numerator is greater than the denominator) can be converted to a mixed number by finding the whole number quotient and then expressing the remainder as the numerator of a new fraction using the original denominator. If possible, either the original fraction or the remainder fraction should be simplified.EXAMPLE : 152/17 = 816/17EXAMPLE : 46/4 = 112/4 ....this can be simplified to 111/2


How is dividing mixed numbers the same as dividing fractions?

A mixed number can be converted into an improper fraction. Mixed numbers as improper fractions can be divided just like any other fraction. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the original numerator to give the new numerator and put this over the original denominator.

How do you convert a Word document into a video?

A Word document cannot be converted into a video. They are completely different kinds of things. You can video a Word document and then use that video to show your document, but the Word document has not been converted into a video. To do anything with the document itself you would have to back to the original.


How do we add rational expressions when the denominators are not the same?

Find a common denominator, which can always be accomplished by multiplying the two denominators together. Then convert each original fraction to the new denominator by multiplying both numerator and denominator by a number that will make the denominator of each fraction the same, then add the converted numerators and express the sum as a new fraction with the sum of the converted numerators divided by the common denominator. For example, a/b + c/d = (da + bc)/bd.

What part of a fraction that represents the total?

It is the denominator of the original fraction. If the fraction has been simplified you have no way to get back to the total.
