Answer:
we need 6.0 moles of zinc (Zn)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Number of moles ZnO produced = 6.0 moles
Step 2: The balanced equation
2 Zn + O2 → 2 ZnO
For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol Oxygen to produce 2 moles Zinc oxide
Step 3: Calculate moles zinc
For 2 moles Zn we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles ZnO
For 6.0 moles 2nO produced, we need 6.0 moles of zinc (Zn) and 3.0 moles of O2 to react.
