Question

How many liters of H2(g) at STP are produced per gram of Al(s) consumed in the following reaction? 2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

1.24 L of H₂ at STP .

Explanation:

2Al(s)    +6HCl(aq)    →    2AlCl₃(aq)   +    3H₂(g)

2 moles                                                  3 x 22.4 L

2 x 27 g of Al reacts to give  3 x 22.4 L of H₂ at STP .

1 g of Al will react to give 3 x 22.4 / ( 2 x 27 ) L of H₂ at STP .

= 1.24 L of H₂ at STP .
