. Act 20 g Ca (M = 40g / mol) with H2SO4 diluted within 10 seconds. What will be the rate of hydrogen formation in mol / sec. please

Rate of hydrogen formation is 0.05 mole per second

Explanation:

Firstly, we write the equation of reaction.

When alkali earth metals react with dilute mineral acid, the reaction is vigorous with the production or evolution of hydrogen gas as a result of the displacement of the hydrogen from the acid by the metal. This is one of the basic reactions of mineral acids

Ca + H2SO4 ——> CaSO4 + H2

Looking at the reaction, 1 mole of calcium gave 1 mole of the hydrogen gas

What we do now is to calculate the number of moles of calcium produced by 20g of Ca

Mathematically;

number of moles = mass/atomic mass

number of moles of calcium is thus

20/40 = 0.5 moles

Now, if 1 mole of calcium produced 1 mole of the gas

Definitely, 0.5 mole of calcium will produce 0.5 mole of the gas

So the rate of gas formation would be 0.5/10 = 0.05 mole/second
