[Zn =65, s = 32, O = 16, H = 1]

  • A. 1.35g
  • B. 1.00g
  • C. 0.70g

Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

\(Zn + H_2 SO_4 → ZnSO_4 + H_2\)

1 mole of Zn = 1 mole \(H_2SO_4\)

no of moles of \(H_2SO_4\) = C X V = 1 X 10/1000 = 0.01moles.

0.01mole \(H_2SO_4\) = 0.01 mole Zn

mass of Zn = 0.01 x 65(given) = 0.65g

therefore, the mass of undissolved Zn = 2.00(given) - 0.65 = 1.35g.
