How many grams of Al are required to produce 5.6 L of H₂ at STP with excess HCl? (Atomic mass: Al = 27)

Reaction: 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂. Moles of H₂ = 5.6/22.4 = 0.25 mol. 3 mol H₂ from 2 mol Al; 0.25 mol from (2/3)×0.25 ≈ 0.1667 mol Al. Mass = 0.1667 × 27 ≈ 4.5 g.

How many grams of NaCl are produced when 10.6 g of Na₂CO₃ reacts with excess HCl? (Molar masses: Na₂CO₃ = 106 g/mol, NaC

Reaction: Na₂CO₃ + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O. Moles of Na₂CO₃ = 10.6/106 = 0.1 mol. 1 mol Na₂CO₃ produces 2 mol NaCl; 0.1 mol produces 0.2 mol. Mass = 0.2 × 58.5 = 11.7 g.
