A materials scientist has created an alloy containing aluminum, copper, and zinc, and wants to determine the percent composition of the alloy. The scientist takes a 13.039 g sample of the alloy and reacts it with concentrated HCl . The reaction converts all of the aluminum and zinc in the alloy to aluminum chloride and zinc chloride in addition to producing hydrogen gas. The copper does not react with the HCl . Upon completion of the reaction, a total of 11 L of hydrogen gas was collected at a pressure of 744 torr and a temperature of 27.0 °C . Additionally, 2.761 g of unreacted copper is recovered. Calculate the mass of hydrogen gas formed from the reaction.

Answer:

0.8749 grams of hydrogen gas was formed from the reaction.

Explanation:

P = Pressure of hydrogen gad= 744 Torr = 0.98 atm

(1 atm = 760 Torr)

V = Volume of hydrogen gas= 11 L

n = number of moles of hydrogen gas= ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of vapor = 27.0 °C = 300.15 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Using an ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.98 atm\times 11 L}{0.0821 L atm/mol K\times 300.15 K}[/tex]

n = 0.4374 moles

Mass of 0.4374 moles of hydrogen gas:

0.4374 mol × 2 g/mol = 0.8749 g

0.8749 grams of hydrogen gas was formed from the reaction.
