Answer 1

Answer:

0.48g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of zinc  = 15g

Unknown:

Mass of hydrogen gas = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to state the balanced reaction expression first;

          Zn   +   2HCl   →   ZnCl₂    +   H₂

Find the number of moles of Zn;

    Number of moles  = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$    = $\frac{15}{63.4}$    = 0.24mol

From the balanced reaction expression;

             1 mole of Zn will produce 1 mole of H₂  

            0.24mole of Zn will produce 0.24mole of hydrogen gas

Mass of hydrogen gas  = number of moles x molar mass

                                      = 0.24 x (2 x 1)

                                      = 0.48g
