12.5 g of iron was dissolved in an excess of hydrochloric acid. calculate the volume of gas evolved in the reaction.

The reaction of interaction of a metal with an acid will take the form:

Fe + 2HCl = FeCl2 + H2 ↑

For every mole of iron, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is released.

The molar mass of Fe is 56 g, which means that 12.5: 56 = 0.223 mol of metal entered the reaction.

The volume of released hydrogen is 0.223 * 22.4 = 5 liters.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society.
