Share with your friends Share 0 Vartika Jain answered this Dear Student, Zn + HCl → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)1 mol 1 molSo, 2 mol of Zn = 2 mol of H2In open vessel, gas expands against theexternal pressure of atmosphereSo, w= -pextVVolume occupied by 2 mol of H2 at 1 atm and 25°C i.e. 298 KV= nRTP=2×0.082×2981=48.872 LSo, w= -1 atm×48.872 L =-48.872 L-atm =-48.872×101.3 J =-4950.733 J =-4.95 kJ 0 View Full Answer
