The drain cleaner,drainex contains small bits of aluminium which reacts with caustic soda to produce dihydrogen. The volume of dihydrogen at 20 degree C and one bar will released when 0.15g of aluminium reacts is
Hello!!!
Hope you are doing great!!!
As per your question,the chemical equation will be as follows:
2Al+2NaoH+2H2O gives rise to 2NaAlO2+3H2
2*27gms of Al = 6gms of H2
0.15gms of Al = ?
weight of H2 produced = 0.15*6/2*27
= 1/60 gms of H2
By using Ideal gas equation,
PV=nRT
where P=pressure
V=volume
R=universal gas constant=0.8314
T=temperature in kelvin
PV=nRT
1*V=(1/60*2)*(0.8314*293)
V=(1/120)*(23.44)
V=23.44/120
V=0.195lit
Hope it helps!!!!!!
