Correct answer
A11.2 L H2(g) at STP is produced for every mole HCl(aq) consumed
Step-by-step explanation
Option A :
6 moles of HCl(aq) produces = 3 moles of H2(g)
1 mole of HCl(aq) produces = moles of H2(g) = moles of H2(g)
From avogadro hypothesis we know at STP 1 mole of any as occupies 22.4 L.
moles of H2(g) occupies = = 11.2 L
Option (A) is correct.
Option B :
According to avogadro Hypothesis, volume is directly proportional to the no of moles of gases.
Only for gases, no of mole and volume relationship is possible i.e, for two gases if no of moles are same then their volume is also same. But here HCL is in aqueous form and H2 is in gaseous form so we can't find volume of HCL(aq) using no of moles of HCL(aq).
Option (B) is wrong.
Option C :
2 moles of Al(s) produces = 3 moles of H2(g)
1 mole of Al(s) produces = moles of H2(g)
From avogadro hypothesis we know at STP 1 mole of any as occupies 22.4 L.
moles of H2(g) occupies = = 33.6 L
6 moles of HCl(aq) produces = 3 moles of H2(g)
1 mole of HCl(aq) produces = moles of H2(g) = moles of H2(g)
moles of H2(g) occupies = = 11.2 L
So from every mole of HCl(aq) that reacts only 11.2 L H2(g) produces.
Form every mole of Al(s) produces 33.6 L H2(g) but from every mole of HCl(aq) that reacts only 11.2 L H2(g) produces not 33.6 L.
Option (C) is wrong.
Option D :
2 moles of Al(s) produces = 3 moles of H2(g)
1 mole of Al(s) produces = moles of H2(g)
From avogadro hypothesis we know at STP 1 mole of any as occupies 22.4 L.
moles of H2(g) occupies = = 33.6 L
Option (D) is wrong.
6 moles of HCl(aq) produces = 3 moles of H2(g)
1 mole of HCl(aq) produces = moles of H2(g) = moles of H2(g)
From avogadro hypothesis we know at STP 1 mole of any as occupies 22.4 L.
moles of H2(g) occupies = = 11.2 L
Option (A) is correct.
Option B :
According to avogadro Hypothesis, volume is directly proportional to the no of moles of gases.
Only for gases, no of mole and volume relationship is possible i.e, for two gases if no of moles are same then their volume is also same. But here HCL is in aqueous form and H2 is in gaseous form so we can't find volume of HCL(aq) using no of moles of HCL(aq).
Option (B) is wrong.
Option C :
2 moles of Al(s) produces = 3 moles of H2(g)
1 mole of Al(s) produces = moles of H2(g)
From avogadro hypothesis we know at STP 1 mole of any as occupies 22.4 L.
moles of H2(g) occupies = = 33.6 L
6 moles of HCl(aq) produces = 3 moles of H2(g)
1 mole of HCl(aq) produces = moles of H2(g) = moles of H2(g)
moles of H2(g) occupies = = 11.2 L
So from every mole of HCl(aq) that reacts only 11.2 L H2(g) produces.
Form every mole of Al(s) produces 33.6 L H2(g) but from every mole of HCl(aq) that reacts only 11.2 L H2(g) produces not 33.6 L.
Option (C) is wrong.
Option D :
2 moles of Al(s) produces = 3 moles of H2(g)
1 mole of Al(s) produces = moles of H2(g)
From avogadro hypothesis we know at STP 1 mole of any as occupies 22.4 L.
moles of H2(g) occupies = = 33.6 L
Option (D) is wrong.
