Calculate the volume of hydrogen liberated (Zn=63,1 mole of any gas at STP= 22.4dm3)

1 answer

To calculate the volume of hydrogen gas liberated, we need to know the stoichiometry of the reaction and the number of moles of the reactant.

Assuming the reaction given is:

Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, we can see that for every 1 mole of Zn, 1 mole of H2 gas is liberated.

Now, if we have 63.1 moles of Zn, we can calculate the volume of H2 gas liberated using the conversion factor provided: 1 mole of any gas at STP = 22.4 dm3.

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas liberated will be:
Volume = (Number of moles of H2) x (Conversion factor)

The number of moles of H2 is equal to the number of moles of Zn (based on stoichiometry).

Hence, the volume of hydrogen gas liberated will be:
Volume = 63.1 moles x 22.4 dm3/mole
Volume = 1410.44 dm3

So, the volume of hydrogen gas liberated is 1410.44 dm3.
