Accepted Solution

A:
[tex]\mathrm{Ca}+\mathrm{ZnCO}_3\Rightarrow\mathrm{CaCO}_3+\mathrm{Zn}[/tex]Zn and ZnCO_3 occur in a 1:1 ratio in this reaction. Zn has a molar mass of about 65.38 g/mol; C has a molar mass of 12.011 g/mol; and O has a molar mass of 15.999 g/mol. So ZnCO_3 has a total molar mass of about 125.4 g/mol. In this reaction,[tex](162\,\mathrm g\text{ ZnCO}_3)\left(\dfrac1{125.4}\dfrac{\rm mol}{\rm g}\right)=1.29\,\mathrm{mol}\text{ ZnCO}_3[/tex]are involved, so that about 1.29 moles of Zn are produced, which has a mass of[tex]1.29\,\mathrm{mol}\text{ Zn}\left(65.38\dfrac{\rm g}{\rm mol}\right)=84.3\,\mathrm g\text{ Zn}[/tex](round up to 88 g)###Masses add, so the total mass of the solution is 50.5 g###Hard to answer without the image...
