What volume of hydrogen will be produced at STP by the reaction of 67.3 g of tin with excess water according to the following reaction?

Sn + 2H2O ==> Sn(OH)2 + 2H2

67.3 g Sn x 1 mol/119 g x 2 mol H2/mol Sn x 22.4 L/mole = answer in liters

Explanation:

Sn + 2H2O ==> Sn(OH)2 + 2H2

67.3 g Sn x 1 mol/119 g x 2 mol H2/mol Sn x 22.4 L/mole = answer in liters

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
