Answer:
By the above equation we can say that,
2 moles of aluminum releases 3 moles of hydrogen gas.
We can find the moles of aluminum produced by,
number of moles = Molar Given massmass 0.15g27 =
5.56X10-3 moles
Thus moles of hydrogen can be founded by,
= 3 x moles of aluminium
= 3 x 5.56 x 10-3
= 8.33 x 10-3 moles

Al react with caustic soda to produce dihydrogen. reaction will be
2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O -->2NaAlO2 + 3H2
⠀
⚘here we see that, 2 mol of Al produce 3 mole of H2
∴ 2 × 27 g of Al produce 3 × 2 g of H2 .
∴ 54 g of Al produce 6g of H2.
∴ 1 g of Al produce 6/54 = 1/9 g of H2.
∴ 0.15g of Al produce 0.15/9 g of H2
so,
number of mole of H2 produce = weight of HE produce/molar weight of H2
= (0.15/9)/2
= 0.15/18 = 0.00833 mol
⠀
now,
⠀
Here,
⚘ P = 1 bar or 0.987 atm
⚘T = 20°C or 293K
⚘n = 0.00833 mol
⚘R = 0.0821 atm dm³/K/mol
⚘V = ?
V = 0.00833 × 0.0821 × 293/0.987
= 0.203 dm³
⠀
we know,
⠀
so, Volume of H2 = 1000 × 0.203mL
