Expert Answer

Answer

We know that

Mol=concentration*volume

Mol of HCl=0.743*0.25=0.186 mol

Now

Mol=no of atoms/avogadro const

So mol of Fe=3.41*10^23/6.022*10^23=0.566 mol

Now according to stoichiometry,

2 mol of HCl=1 mol of Fe

So if we use limiting reactant as Fe than

We required 1.132 mol of HCl.but we have 0.186 mol of HCl.

So limiting reactant is HCl

So HCl mol=0.186

As per reaction

Fe required=0.0929 mol

So Fe in excess

So H2 mol=0.0929 mol

H2 Mass=mol*mol.weight=0.0929*2=0.186 gm
