Question:
$\text{Which of the following statements is true regarding the reaction given below?}$ $2\text{Al}_{(s)} + 6\text{HCl}_{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{Al}^{3+}_{(aq)} + 6\text{Cl}^{-}_{(aq)} + 3\text{H}_2_{(g)}$
Options:
-
1. $6\text{L HCl}_{(aq)} \text{ is consumed for every } 3\text{L of H}_2_{(g)} \text{ produced.}$
-
2. $33.6\text{ L H}_2_{(g)} \text{ is produced regardless of temperature and pressure for every mole of Al that reacts.}$
-
3. $67.2\text{ L H}_2_{(g)} \text{ at STP is produced for every mole of Al that reacts.}$
-
4. $11.2\text{ L H}_2_{(g)} \text{ at STP is produced for every mole of HCl}_{(aq)} \text{ consumed.}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L at STP.}$ $\text{Explanation:}$ $\text{The given equation is:}$ $2\text{Al}_{(s)} + 6\text{HCl}_{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{Al}^{3+}_{(aq)} + 6\text{Cl}^{-}_{(aq)} + 3\text{H}_2_{(g)}$ $\text{This equation indicates that 2 moles of solid aluminum react with 6 moles of hydrochloric acid in aqueous solution to produce 2 moles of aluminum ions in aqueous solution, 6 moles of chloride ions in aqueous solution, and 3 moles of hydrogen gas.}$ $(1) \text{ According to the stoichiometry of the balanced reaction, 6 moles of HCl react to produce 3 moles of } H_2. \text{ We can't directly write volume in place of number of moles.}$ $(2) \text{ 1 mole of } Al \text{ produces 1.5 moles of } H_2 \text{ or } 1.5 \times 22.4\text{ L } = 33.6\text{ L of } H_2 \text{ at STP. It can't have the same volume at any temperature or pressure condition.}$ $(3) \text{ 1 mole of } HCl \text{ produces 0.5 moles of } H_2 \text{ or } 0.5 \times 22.4\text{ L } = 11.2\text{ L of } H_2 \text{ at STP.}$ $\text{Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.}$
