What mass of hydrogen is formed by the interaction of 13 g of zinc with phosphoric acid?

1. Let’s write down the reaction equation:

3Zn + 2H3PO4 = Zn3 (PO4) 2 + 3H2.

2. Find the amount of zinc:

n (Zn) = m (Zn) / M (Zn) = 13 g / 65 g / mol = 0.2 mol.

3. According to the reaction equation, we find the amount and then the mass of the released hydrogen:

n (H2) = n (Zn) = 0.2 mol.

m ((H2) = n (H2) * M (H2) = 0.2 mol * 2 g / mol = 0.4 g.

Answer: m ((H2) = 0.4 g.
