How many liters of hydrogen gas are formed from the complete reaction of 1.03 mol of C? Assume that the hydrogen gas is collected at a pressure of 1.0 atm and temperature of 319 K . Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

27 liters of hydrogen gas will be formed

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles C = 1.03 moles

Pressure H2 = 1.0 atm

Temperature = 319 K

Step 2: The balanced equation

C +H20 → CO + H2

Step 3: Calculate moles H2

For 1 mol C we need 1 mol H2O to produce 1 mol CO an 1 mol H2

For 1.03 moles C we'll have 1.03 moles H2

Step 4: Calculate volume H2

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure of the H2 gas = 1.0 atm

⇒with V = the volume of H2 gas = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with n = the number of moles H2 gas = 1.03 moles

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*Atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 319 K

V = (n*R*T)/p

V = (1.03 * 0.08206 *319) / 1

V = 27 L

27 liters of hydrogen gas will be formed
