Mole Island Diagram
How Big is a Mole?
One mole of marbles would cover the entire Earth
(oceans included) for a depth of two miles.
One mole of $1 bills stacked
one on top of another would
reach from the Sun to Pluto
and back 7.5 million times.
It would take light 9500 years to travel from the bottom
to the top of a stack of 1 mole of $1 bills.

A. Using Mole Island
Just watch, don’t write: If you have 79.1 g of Zn to react
with excess HCl (enough HCl to keep reacting as long as
you need), how many Liters of H2 gas will be produced?
Zn + 2HCl 

B. Using Mole Island
Now write this one for practice: If you instead have 79.1 g
of HCl to react with excess Zinc (enough Zinc to keep
reacting as long as you need), how many Liters of H2 gas
will be produced?
Zn + 2HCl 

Other possibilities: Still starting with 79.1 grams of HCl,
how many molecules of H2 gas are produced? Or what
mass of H2 gas is produced?
How would these questions change your calculations?
Zn + 2HCl 
79.1 g
ZnCl2 + H2
Same conversion to moles, same mole to mole
ratio, different last conversions…
