Answer:
Moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles
Explanation:
The balanced Chemical equation for reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid is :
[tex]Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)[/tex]
This equation tells that ; when 1 mole of Zn react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid, it produces 1 mole of zinc sulfate and 1 mole of hydrogen.
Since sulfuric acid is in excess so Zinc is the limiting reagent
(Limiting reagent : Substance which get consumed when the reaction completes, limiting reagent helps in predicting the amount of products formed)
Limiting reagent (Zn) will decide the amount of Hydrogen produced
[tex]Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)[/tex]
[tex]1\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 1\ mole\ H_{2}[/tex]
So,
[tex]5\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 5\ mole\ H_{2}[/tex]
Hence moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles
