If 65.39 g of zinc are mixed with some unknown mass of hydrochloride acid, 136.29 g of zncl2 are formed along with 2.00 g of hydrogen gas. what mass of hydrochloric acid was used?

Respuesta :

How much hydrogen chloride acid was used?

72.916 g of hydrochloric acid was used.

Given:

Mass of Zn = 65.39 g

Mass of [tex]ZnCl_{2}[/tex] =136.29 g

Mass of [tex]H_{2}[/tex] = 2 g

Equation:

The chemical equation for the reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid:

Zn + 2HCl → Zn [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] + [tex]H_{2}[/tex]

Hydrogen gas is created when zinc combines with hydrochloric acid, which causes the process to bubble ferociously. Another sign that a chemical reaction is taking place is the generation of a gas.

Calculation:

A number of equivalents equate:

Number of equivalents = [tex]\frac{given mass}{Molecular Mass}[/tex] x 1000 x equivalent factor

[tex]\frac{x}{36.458}[/tex] x 1000 x 1 = [tex]\frac{136.29}{136.286}[/tex] x 1000 x 2

[tex]x[/tex] = 36.458 x 2

[tex]x[/tex] = 72.916
