Question

Zinc and hydrochloric acid acid react according to the followning reaction.
Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)​ gives ZnCl2(aq)+H2(g)
If 0.30 mol of Zn are added to HCl containing 0.52 mol of HCl, how many moles of hydrogen are produced ?

Solution

Form the equation, the mole ratio of Zn: HCl:H2 is 1:2:1

Ratio of given amounts of Zn: HCl is 0.3:0.52 or 0.3: 0.52 or 1: 1.73
As 1.73 is less than 2, HCl is the limiting reactant and will decide on the amount of products formed.

Moles of hydrogen gas formed = 0.52/2 = 0.26 mol
