Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Zinc reacts with excess hydrochloric acid: . What volume of hydrogen at STP comes from of zinc? Use Zn g/mol and for each mole of gas.
Rounds of the equation for a reactant . The smallest is the extent, and its reactant is limiting. Products: extent coefficient. Excess left: moles extent coefficient. Percent yield . At STP a mole of gas fills .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Moles of zinc. mol.
Step 2. Hydrogen. One to one: mol.
Step 3. Volume. L.
Answer: L of hydrogen at STP.
