Approximately $\left(-1.53 \times 10^{2}\; \rm kJ\right)$ per mole $\rm Zn$ . (The negative value suggests the release of heat.) Assumption: the reaction was complete.

Explanation:

Finding the limiting reactant

This question specified the quantity of both $\rm Zn$ and $\rm HCl$ . Hence, either of the two species could be the limiting reactant. Calculating the number of moles of $\rm Zn\!$ that was actually consumed requires finding the limiting reactant.

Look up the relative atomic mass of $\rm Zn$ on a modern periodic table:

$\rm Zn$ : 65.38

In other words, $M(\mathrm{Zn}) = 65.38\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Calculate the number of moles of atoms present in that $1.34\; \rm g$ of $\rm Zn$ :

$\begin{aligned}&n(\mathrm{Zn}) \\ &= \frac{m(\mathrm{Zn})}{M(\mathrm{Zn})} \\ &= \frac{1.34\; \rm g}{65.38\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}}\approx 0.020496\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

On the other hand, calculate the number of moles of $\rm HCl$ molecules in that $60.0\; \rm mL$ of $0.750\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ ( $0.750\; \rm M$ ) ${\rm HCl}\, (aq)$ solution. Start by converting the unit of volume to liters (so as to match the unit of the concentration of this solution.)

$\begin{aligned}&V({\rm HCl})\\ & = 60.0\; \rm mL \times \frac{1\; \rm L}{10^{3}\; \rm mL} \\ &= 6.00\times 10^{-2}\; \rm L\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}&n(\mathrm{HCl}) \\ &= c(\mathrm{HCl}) \times V(\mathrm{HCl}) \\ &= 0.750\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 6.00\times 10^{-2}\; \rm L \\ &\approx 4.50 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

How many $\rm Zn$ atoms would react that much $\rm HCl$ ? Notice the ratio between the coefficients of these two species in the balanced chemical equation for this reaction:

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{Zn})}{n(\mathrm{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

In other words, it would take two $\rm HCl$ molecules to react with one $\rm Zn$ atom.

Hence, $4.50 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol$ of $\rm HCl$ molecules would react with up to $(1/2) \times 4.50\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol = 2.25 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol$ $\rm Zn$ atoms.

However, only approximately $2.05 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Zn$ atoms were available in this question. Therefore, $\rm Zn\!$ would be the limiting reactant of this reaction. Up to $2.05 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol\!$ of $\!\rm Zn$ atoms would take part in this reaction.

Calculate the per-mole enthalpy change

Assume that this reaction was complete. In other words, assume that all the $\rm Zn$ atoms that could be consumed were actually consumed. Under that assumption, approximately $2.05 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Zn\!$ atoms had reacted to produced $3.14\; \rm kJ$ of heat through this reaction.

All other things equal, the quantity of heat produced in this reaction should be proportional to the number of $\rm Zn$ atoms that were actually consumed.

Therefore, based on data from this question, the maximum amount of heat that $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Zn$ atoms would produce through this reaction would be approximately:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{3.14\; \rm J}{2.05 \times 10^{-2}} \approx 1.53\times 10^{2}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Steam is generated in a boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 mpa and 450°c at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. in normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.5 mpa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. in this mode, no steam passes through a condenser, which operates at 20 kpa. (a) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate at which process heat is supplied in this mode. (b) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate of process heat supplied if only 60 percent of the steam is routed to the process heater and the remainder is expanded to the condenser pressure.
