How many liters of hydrogen at STP can be produced by the reaction of 4.15 g of zinc with hydrochloric acid:

Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2

for every mole of zinc, you get 22.4liters of H2
How many moles of zinc is 4.15g?
that doesn't make sense to me... can you give me a step by step walk through?
Zn + 2HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2
moles Zn = 4.15/molar mass Zn = xx.
xx moles Zn will produce xx moles H2 (since 1 mole Zn produces 1 mole H2 according to the equation.)
xx moles H2 x (22.4 L/1 mol) = yy liters H2. Voila!
1.41 L of H2?
