🤓 Based on our data, we think this question is relevant for Professor Blankenship's class at UGA.

# Solution: Small quantities of hydrogen can be prepared by the addition of hydrochloric acid to zinc. A sample of 195 mL of hydrogen was collected over water at 25 °C and 753 torr. What mass of hydrogen was collected? (Pwater = 24 torr at 25 °C)A. 0.00765 g B. 0.0159 g C. 0.0154 g D. 0.0164 g E. 0.159 g

###### Problem

Small quantities of hydrogen can be prepared by the addition of hydrochloric acid to zinc. A sample of 195 mL of hydrogen was collected over water at 25 °C and 753 torr. What mass of hydrogen was collected? (Pwater = 24 torr at 25 °C)

A. 0.00765 g

B. 0.0159 g

C. 0.0154 g

D. 0.0164 g

E. 0.159 g

###### Solution

We’re being asked to determine the mass of the 195 mL hydrogen sample collected over water at 25 °C and 753 torr.

At STP:         T = 0°C

P = 1 atm

We’re going to calculate the volume of the gas using the ideal gas equation.

$\overline{){\mathbf{P}}{\mathbf{V}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{n}}{\mathbf{R}}{\mathbf{T}}}$

P = pressure, atm
V = volume, L
n = moles, mol
R = gas constant = 0.08206 (L·atm)/(mol·K)
T = temperature, K
