Fe(s) + 2hcl(aq) --> fecl2(aq) + h2(g)

when a student adds 30.0 ml of 1.00 m hcl to 0.56 g of powdered fe, a reaction occurs according to the equation above. when the reaction is complete at 273 k and 1.0 atm, which of the following is true?

a) hcl is in excess, and 0.100 mol of hcl remains unreacted.

d) 0.22 l of h2 has been produced.

the correct answer is d. i can't figure out why a is wrong.

In the option(A) moles of HCl left are 0.100 moles which is wrong, making the option incorrect.

Explanation:

Moles of HCl = n

Molarity of HCl = 1.0M

Volume of HCl solution = 30.0 mL = 0.030 L (1 mL = 0.001L)

Moles of Fe =

According to recation , 1mol of Fe reacts with 2 mol HCl. Then 0.01 mole of Fe will recat with :

of HCl

This means that HCl uis in excess , hence excessive reagent.

Moles of HCl left unreacted :

= 0.030 mol - 0.020 mol = 0.010 mol

But in the option moles of HCl left are 0.100 moles which is wrong, making the option incorrect.

if you're asking what comes out, it's steam.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
