Find the volume of hydrogen that is formed by the interaction of 108 grams of Al with HCl.
1.Find the amount of aluminum substance by the formula:
n = m: M.
M (Al) = 27 g / mol.
n = 108 g: 27 g / mol = 4 mol.
2. Let’s compose the reaction equation, find the quantitative ratios of substances.
2Al + 6HCl = 2AlCl3 + 3H2.
According to the reaction equation, there is 3 mol of hydrogen for 2 mol of aluminum. The substances are in quantitative ratios of 2: 3.
The amount of hydrogen will be 1.5 times more than the amount of aluminum.
n (H2) = 1.5n (Al) = 4 mol × 1.5 = 6 mol.
2 mol Al -3 mol H2,
4 mol Al – n mol H2,
n mol H2 = (4 mol × 3 mol): 2 mol = 6 mol.
3. Let’s find the volume of hydrogen.
V = Vn n, where Vn is the molar volume of gas equal to 22.4 l / mol, and n is the amount of substance.
V = 6 mol × 22.4 L / mol = 134.4 L.
Answer: 134.4 liters.
