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 H2 evolved in these two reactions is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 1:02
  • B 1:01
  • C 1:04
  • D 2:01

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Zn + 2dil. HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Zn + 2NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + H2

From one mole of Zn, 1 mol of H2 is produced by both NaOH and HCl.

The ratio of the volume of H2 is 1 : 1
