This reaction is called a composition reaction.
Attraction between polar molecules
If concentration of HCl is 1 mol/dm³ :
m(<span>erlenmeyer flask) = 88,00 g.
m(Zn) = 25,0 g.
V(HCl) = 15 ml = 15 cm</span>³ = 0,015 dm³.
Chemical reaction: Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂.
n(HCl) = c(HCl) · V(HCl).
n(HCl) = 1 mol/dm³ · 0,015 dm³ = 0,015 dm³.
n(Zn) = 25 g ÷ 65,4 g/mol = 0,38 mol.
n(H₂) = 0,015 mol ÷ 2 = 0,0075 mol.
m(H₂) = 0,0075 mol · 2g/mol = 0,015 g.
