When active metals such as magnesium are immersed in acid solution, hydrogen gas is evolved. calculate the volume of h2(g) at 30.1°c and 0.85 atm that can be formed when 275 ml of 0.725 m hcl solution reacts with excess mg to give hydrogen gas and aqueous magnesium chloride.

The volume of  H₂ (g) obtained is 22.4L

Explanation:

First of all, think the reaction:

2HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl₂ (aq)  + H₂ (g)

You have to add a 2, in the HCl to get ballanced.

Now we should know how many moles of each reactant, do we have.

Volume . Molarity = moles

Notice that volume is in mL, so I must convert to L.

275 mL = 0.275L

0.275L . 0.725mol/L = 0.2 moles of HCl

Molar mass of Zn: 65.41 g/m

50 g / 65.41 g/m = 0.764 moles

Ratio between reactants is 2:1, so I need the double of moles of HCl to react, and a half moles of Zn to react.

My limiting reactant is the HCl, for 0.764 moles of Zinc, I need 1.528 (0.764 .2) of HCl, and I only have 0.2 moles.

Ratio between HCl and H₂ is 1:1, so 0.2 HCl make 0.2 moles of gas

Now apply the Ideal Gas Law, to find out the volume

P. V = n . R . T

2 atm . V = 0.2 mol . 0.08206L atm/K mol . 273K

V =  (0.2 mol . 0.08206L atm/K mol . 273K ) / 2 atm

V = 2.24 L

the correct answer is option d

explanation:

i was wrong its d because they dont use cm when calculating square roots

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
