Why should impure zinc be used instead of pure zinc in preparation of hydrogen gas​

Chemistry

Yuri [45]2 years ago

Pure zinc is not used for the preparation of hydrogen gas because it is non-porous. As a result, the reaction carried out with pure zinc would be too slow. Hence impurities like copper is often added to the zinc. Copper acts as a catalyst ( by providing a large surface area ) and increases the speed of the reaction.

4.2g of sodium bicarbonate is equivalent to how many moles of sodium bicarbonate
Mnenie [13.5K]
<span>The mass of one mole of sodium bicarbonate (aka NaHCO3) is equal to 1 * 22.99g/mol + 1 * 1.00g/mol + 1 * 12.01g/mol + 3 * 16.00g/mol = 83.91g/mol. From this, we can convert 4.2g of NaHCO3 to moles by dividing by 83.91g/mol, to get 0.050 moles of sodium bicarbonate.</span>
