Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. Puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill

an adult a few hours after ingestion. Sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. Recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. This recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry?
Applied Biochemistry

When aluminum is placed in concentrated hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced. 2 Al ( s ) + 6 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ 2AlCl3 ( aq ) +
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  V = 19.9 L

Explanation:

Data

mass of Al = 8.60 g

volume of H₂ = ?

Balanced chemical reaction

                 2Al  +  6HCl  ⇒   2AlCl₃  +  3H₂

1.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of H₂ produced

Atomic mass of Al = 2 x 27 = 54 g

Atomic mass of H₂ = 6 x 1 = 6 g

                54 g of Al -------------------- 6 g of H₂

                  8 g  of Al -------------------  x

                  x = (8 x 6) / 54

                  x = 48 / 54

                  x = 0.89 g of H₂

2.- Calculate the volume of H₂

- Convert the H₂ to moles

                    1 g of H₂ --------------- 1 mol

                   0.89 g    ---------------- x

                    x = 0.89 moles

                    1 mol of H₂ -------------- 22.4 l

                   0.89 moles  ------------- x

                    x = (0.89 x 22.4) / 1

                   x = 19.9 L

When a gas is cooled at constant pressure, what happens to its molecules and volume?
Dima020 [189]
Assuming it's a perfect gas, we have PV=nRT hence if T goes down, V goes down up. The volume will decrease.
