What is the minimum amount of 5.3 M H2SO4 necessary to produce 22.0 g of H2 (g) according to the following reaction? 2Al(s)+3H2SO4(aq)→Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3H2(g) Express your answer using two significant figures.
Molar mass of H2 = 2.016 g/mol
mass of H2 = 22.0 g
we have below equation to be used:
number of mol of H2,
n = mass of H2/molar mass of H2
=(22.0 g)/(2.016 g/mol)
= 10.91 mol
From balanced chemical reaction, we see that
when 3 mol of H2 reacts, 3 mol of H2SO4 reacts
mol of H2SO4 reacted = (3/3)* moles of H2
= (3/3)*10.9127
= 10.91 mol
This is number of moles of H2SO4
we have below equation to be used:
M = number of mol / volume in L
5.3 = 10.91/ volume in L
volume = 2.1 L
Answer: 2.1 L
