Hydrogen gas is produced when zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid. if the actual yield of this reaction is 85%?
how many grams of zinc are needed to produce 112 l of h2 at stp?

a. 95 g
b. 180
c. 280
d. 380

d. 380g

Explanation:

The reaction of production of hydrogen from zinc and HCl is:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂(g)

At STP (1atm of pressure and 273.15K), 112L are:

n = PV /RT

n = 1atm×112L / 0.082atmL/molK×273.15K

n = 5.00 moles

That means you need to produce 5.00 moles of hydrogen. Based on the reaction, 1 mole of Zn produce 1 mole of H₂(g), as yield of reaction is 85%:

5.00 moles H₂(g) ≡ 5.00 moles of Zn / 85% = 5.88 moles of Zn you need

As molar mass of Zn is 65.38 g/mol:

5.88 moles Zn × (65.38g /mol) = 384 g of Zn ≡ d. 380g

I hope it helps!

yea hi

explanation:

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
