What mass of zinc is required to produce 0.2 mole of hydrogen gas on reaction with dilute HCl. Atomic mass of zinc is 65.
Open in App
Solution
Zn + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
1 mole of Zn is required to produce 1 mole of hydrogen gas. Therefore, to produce 0.2 mole of hydrogen gas, 0.2 mole of Zn is required.
Mass of Zn required = 0.265 = 13 g.
