Zinc metal is added to a flask containing aqueous hydrochloric acid. The flask contains 0.400 mole of HCl. How much hydrogen gas

is produced if 15.5g of zinc are added to the flask?
Zn(s)+ 2HCl(aq) ⟶H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq)


1.How many moles of HCl are needed to react completely with the 15.5 g of zinc?

2. Which of the two (2) reactants is the limiting reagent?

3. How much is left over of the excessive reactant?

Answer:

0.4 g of hydrogen gas would be produced.

1. 0.48 mole of HCl is needed to react completely with 15.5 g of zinc.

2. HCl is the limiting reactant.

3. 2.61 g of zinc is in excess

Explanation:

From the balanced equation of reaction:

Zn(s)+ 2HCl(aq) --> H_2(g) + ZnCl_2(aq)

1 mole of Zn requires 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

15.5 g of zinc = 15.5/65.3 = 0.24 moles of zinc.

0.24 moles Zn is supposed to require 0.24 x 2 moles HCl which is equivalent to 0.48 moles HCl.

But only 0.400 mole of HCl is present. <u>Hence, HCl is the limiting reagent</u>. <u>For complete reaction with 15.5 g of Zinc, 0.48 mole HCl would be needed.</u>

0.400 mole of HCl will require 0.2 mole of Zn for complete reaction. <u>This thus means that 0.24 - 02 = 0.04 mole of Zn is in excess.</u>

0.04 mole Zn = 0.04 x 65.3 = 2.61 g excess Zn.

Now, since HCl is the limiting reagent;

2 moles of HCl is required to produce 1 mole of H2 according to the equation.

0.400 mole HCl will therefore yield 0.400 x 1/2 = 0.2 mole H2

0.2 mole H2 = 2 x 0.2 = 0.4 g H2

<em>Hence, </em><em>0.4 g</em><em> of hydrogen gas would be produced.</em>

Citrus2011 [14]
The correct description for an atom of helium would be option C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.
