JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 31st January Morning Shift - No. 16)

Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen and zinc chloride. The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP from the reaction of $$11.5 \mathrm{~g}$$ of zinc with excess $$\mathrm{HCl}$$ is __________ L (Nearest integer)

(Given : Molar mass of $$\mathrm{Zn}$$ is $$65.4 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$$ and Molar volume of $$\mathrm{H}_{2}$$ at $$\mathrm{STP}=22.7 \mathrm{~L}$$ )

Answer
4

Explanation

$$ \mathrm{Zn}+2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnCl}_2+\mathrm{H}_2 \uparrow $$

Moles of $\mathrm{Zn}$ used $=\frac{11.5}{65.4}=$ Moles of $\mathrm{H}_2$ evolved

Volume of $\mathrm{H}_2=\frac{11.5}{65.4} \times 22.7 \mathrm{~L}=3.99 \mathrm{~L}$
