equal weight of zn metal & iodine are mixed together & iodine is completely converted to zni_{2.what fraction of weight of the original zinc remains unreated}

The reaction can be represented by the equation
Zn(s) + I₂(s) → ZnI₂(s)
Lets take a sample of 100 g each

100 g Zn / 63.4 g/mol = 1.58 moles
100 g I2 / 253.8 g/mol = 0.394 mol I2

Since these two react in a 1:1 ratio, you will have used 0.394 moles of Zn to react with the 0.394 moles of I₂. That would leave 1.58 - 0.394 = 1.186 moles of Zn unreacted.

So, the fraction of the original zinc remaining would be 1.186 / 1.58 = .75
