JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 1. Some basic concept of chemistry

What volume of hydrogen gas at STP would be liberated by action of \(50\text{ mL}\) of \(H_2SO_4\) of \(50\%\) purity (density \(= 1.3\text{ g mL}^{-1}\)) on \(20\text{ g}\) of zinc ?
Given : Molar mass of H, O, S, Zn are \(1, 16, 32, 65\text{ g mol}^{-1}\) respectively.

  1. A \(5.824\text{ L}\)
  2. B \(7.428\text{ L}\)
  3. C \(6.892\text{ L}\)
  4. D \(8.375\text{ L}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6.892\text{ L}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of \(H_2SO_4\) solution \(= 50 \times 1.3 = 65\text{ g}\) Mass of pure \(H_2SO_4 = 65 \times \dfrac{50}{100} = 32.5\text{ g}\) Moles of \(H_2SO_4 = \dfrac{32.5}{98} \approx 0.3316\text{ mol}\) Moles of \(Zn = \dfrac{20}{65} \approx 0.3077\text{ mol}\) The balanced chemical…
