Bobby was given four different hydrochloric acid solutions, each of which had a different molarity. He was curious to see what would happen if he put a 5 gram piece of zinc metal into 50 ml of each HCl solution. In which HCl solution would the zinc metal
have the quickest rate of reaction?
A)
.5M HCL
B)
1.OM HCL
C)
1.5M HCL
D)
2.OM HCL

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
