Very hot zinc will react with steam to form zinc oxide and hydrogen. What volume of steam would be necessary in order to use up 20.0 g of zinc completely? What volume of hydrogen would be produced in this case?

I NEED HELP WITH THIS!!..PLEASE = )

DrBob222 · Answer

1.Write the equation.
2. Convert 20.0g Zn to mols Zn.
3. Using the equation convert mols Zn to mols H2O (steam).
4. Convert mols H2O (steam) to volume using mols x 22.4 L/mol = ?? L.

The part on hydrogen is a separate question but is worked by the same principles.
