Calculating Zn Required for 2.00g of Au in Chemical Reaction

[gokugreene]

Hey guys could you tell me if I got the right answer; my teacher hasn't went over this material and it is due tomorrow.

Given the following reaction, how many grams of Zn are required to obtain 2.00g of Au?
4CN^{-1}~+~3Zn~+~2Au(CN)_4^{-1}~~-->~3Zn(CN)_4^{-2}~+~2Au

(2.00g of Au)(1 mole Au/179.0g of Au)(3 mole Zn/2 mole Au)(65.39g Zn/1 mole Zn) = 1.10g of Zn

Is this the proper way and is my answer correct? Thanks

taht is the correct way of doing it, just be careful of ratios always

And one more thing.Use the same # of significant digits when working with molar masses.
