chemistry reaction equation help please!

Post by Ocean Breeze »

Please help asap. Need to know asap

If I react 4.3 g of Zinc with excess Bromine (liquid)

the reaction is
Zn (s)+ Br2 (liquid) --> Zn Br2 = ZnBr2

does this mean that there are TWO molecules of bromine required for every ONE molecule of Zn?

and if the values of heat for the reaction are H= -329 kJ/mol
how much heat is released or absorbed during the reaction?

2 atoms of Br and 1 atom of Zn in one molecule of Zinc Bromide

4.3g Zn (atomic wt. = 65.38) = 4.3/65.38 = 0.0658 moles x -329 = -21.64kJ
