The hydrogen gas from the reaction of 1.0 g of iron with excess hydrochloric acid is collected in a 15.0 l flask at 25 degrees celsius. what is the pressure of the hydrogen gas in this flask?

P = 0.03 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron = 1.0 g

Volume of flask = 15.0 L

Temperature = 25 °C

Pressure of hydrogen gas = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4HCl + 2Fe → 2FeCl₂ + 2H₂

Number of moles of iron:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 1.0 g/ 55.85 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

Now we will compare the moles of iron and hydrogen.

                Fe                :                H₂

                 2                 :                 2

               0.02              :              0.02

Pressure of hydrogen:

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = 0.02 mol × 0.0821.atm.L/mol.K × 298 K / 15 L

P = 0.5 atm. L /15 L

P = 0.03 atm

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.
