Explanation:
150 grams is .15 liters
1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.414 liters
.15 liter of hydrogen represents .15/22.414 =
0.0066922 moles of H2
equation is
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
1 mole of Zn will make 1 mole of H2
0.0066922 moles of Zn will make 0.0066922 moles of H2
To convert this molar quantity of zinc into grams we simply multiply by the atomic mass of zinc, which is
65.38 g/mol;-
Mass of Zn required = 0.0066922 moles * 65.38 g/mol = 0.4375390381 grams
