How much hydrogen will be released when aluminum interacts with 100 percent of a solution containing
How much hydrogen will be released when aluminum interacts with 100 percent of a solution containing 5% hydrochloric acid.
m (HCl) = 100 g.
W (HCl) = 5%.
Determine the amount of hydrogen released as a result of the reaction. We write down the solution.
First, we write down the equation of reactions.
2Al + 6HCl = 2AlCl3 + 3H2
We find the mass of hydrogen chloride. We use the following formula.
W = m r.v / m r-ra * 100%.
m r.v = m solution * W / 100% = 100 * 5/100 = 5 g HCl.
Find the amount of HCl substance.
n = m / M.
M (HCl) = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g / mol.
n = 5 / 36.5 = 0.14 mol.
Using the reaction equation, we find the amount of hydrogen substance.
0.14 mol HCl – x mol H2.
6 mol HCl – 3 mol H2.
X = 0.14 * 3: 6 = 0.07 mol H2.
Find the volume of hydrogen.
n = V / Vm.
V = n * Vm = 0.07 mol * 22.4 L / mol = 1.568 L.
Answer: the volume of hydrogen is 1.568 liters.
