What volume of hydrogen is produced at s.t.p. When 2.60 g of zinc reacts with excess HCI according to the following equation? Zn
(s) + 2HCI
(aq) → ZnCI
2(aq) + H
2(g) [Zn = 65; 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4dm
3 at s.t.p]
-
A.
0.040dm 3
-
B.
0.896dm 3
-
C.
5.82dm 3
-
D.
8.62dm 3
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Zn + 2HCI → ZnCI2 + H2; 65g of Zn produces 22.4 dm3 of H2; .: 2.6g of Zn will produce = 2.6/65 x 22.4 = 0.896 dm3
