Zinc citrate, Zn3(C6H5O7)2,is an ingredient in toothpaste. It is synthesized by the reactionof zinc carbonate with citric acid. 3ZnCO3(s) + 2C6H8O7(aq) → Zn3(C6H5O7)2(aq) + 3H2O(l) +3CO2(g)
a. If there is 1 mol ZnCO3 and 1 mol C6H8O7, which is the limitingreactant?
b. If there is 6 mol ZnCO3 and 10 mol C6H8O7, which is the reactantin excess?
c. How many moles of Zn3(C6H5O7)2 would be produced under the condition described in (b)?
