Question

4.What volume of hydrogen gas at STP is produced when 2.5 grams of zinc react with an
excess of hydrochloric acid?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.86

Explanation:

1mol of Zn has mass of 65.39g.The amount of Zn is 2.5g65.39g/mol=0.038mol.

The amount of H2 produced is the same as the amount of Zn consumed (0.038mol).

1mol of ideal gas will occupy 22.4L at STP.

The H2 will occupy 0.038mol×22.4L/mol=0.86L
