In the reaction, 2 Al(s)+6 HCl(aq) arrow 2 Al^ 3+ (aq)+6 Cl^ -...

In the reaction,
2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2Al3+(aq)+6Cl−(aq)+3H2( g)2 \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{s})+6 \mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Al}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+6 \mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})

Options

  1. A11.2 LH2( g)11.2 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) at STP is produced for every mole of HCl consumed.
  2. B33.6 LH2( g)33.6 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) is produced regardless of temperature and pressure for every mole of Al that reacts.
  3. C12 LHCl(aq)12 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq}) is consumed for every 6 LH2( g)6 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) produced.
  4. D67.2 LH2( g)67.2 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) at STP is produced for every mole of Al that reacts.

Correct answer

A. 11.2 LH2( g)11.2 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) at STP is produced for every mole of HCl consumed.

Step-by-step solution

Reaction: 2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2Al3+(aq)+6Cl−(aq)+3H2(g)2\text{Al}(s) + 6\text{HCl}(aq) \rightarrow 2\text{Al}^{3+}(aq) + 6\text{Cl}^-(aq) + 3\text{H}_2(g)
Checking each option:
(1) Per 1 mole HCl: From stoichiometry, 6 mol HCl produces 3 mol H₂, so 1 mol HCl produces 0.5 mol H₂ = 11.2 L at STP. TRUE
(2) Per 1 mole Al: 2 mol Al produces 3 mol H₂, so 1 mol Al produces 1.5 mol H₂ = 33.6 L at STP only, not regardless of T and P. FALSE
(3) Volume ratio at same T,P: 6 mol HCl : 3 mol H₂ = 2:1, so 12 L HCl : 6 L H₂. TRUE
(4) Per 1 mole Al: 1.5 mol H₂ = 33.6 L, not 67.2 L. FALSE
Option (1) is correct.
