5 g of zinc is treated separately with an excess of ( a ) dilute hydrochloric acid and ( b ) aqueous sodium hydroxide. The ratio of the volumes of H 2 evolved in these two reactions is:
Options
- A1 : 2
- B1 : 1
- C1 : 4
- D2 : 1
Correct answer
B. 1 : 1
Step-by-step solution
Zn + 2 NaOH ⟶ Na 2 ZnO 2 + H 2 Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCI 2 + H 2 According to stoichiometry in both the reactions, equal number of moles of H 2 are evolved
