Determine the mass of hydrochloric acid reacted with 650 g of zinc. How much hydrogen is released in this case?

The reaction of dissolving zinc in hydrochloric acid is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

Zn + 2HCl = ZnCl2 + H2;

When 1 mol of zinc is dissolved, 1 mol of hydrogen gas is released.

Let’s calculate the chemical amount of a substance contained in 650 grams of zinc.

M Zn = 65 grams / mol;

N Zn = 650/65 = 10 mol;

The same amount of hydrogen will be synthesized.

1 liter of ideal gas assumes a volume of 22.4 liters (under normal conditions).

The gas volume will be:

V H2 = 10 x 22.4 = 224 liters;
