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
