What volume of hydrogen is formed by the interaction of 0.2 mol of zinc with sulfuric acid.

Zinc dissolves in sulfuric acid, the reaction proceeds according to the following chemical equation:

Zn + H2SO4 = ZnSO4 + H2;

When 0.2 mol of zinc is dissolved, 0.2 mol of hydrogen is released.

Let’s calculate the volume that it occupies.

To do this, multiply the amount of substance by the volume of 1 mole of gas (assuming a volume of 22.4 liters).

V H2 = 0.2 x 22.4 = 4.48 liters;
