Answer:
2.97 moles of Zinc II phosphate
17.8 moles of water
Explanation:
The balanced reaction equation is ;
3Zn(OH)2(aq) + 2H3PO4(aq) -----> Zn3(PO4)2(aq) + 6H2O(l)
The two reaction products are zinc II phosphate and water.
Let us begin with zinc II phosphate.
3 moles of Zinc II hydroxide yields 1 mole zinc II phosphate
8.9 moles of Zinc II hydroxide will yield 8.9 × 1 /3 = 2.97 moles of Zinc II phosphate
For water
3 moles of zinc II hydroxide yields 6 moles of water
8.9 moles of Zinc II hydroxide will yield 8.9 × 6/3 = 17.8 moles of water
