An aluminium sample is added to an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction continues until all the aluminium has reacted.
2Al+6HCl→2AlCl3+3H22\text{Al} + 6\text{HCl} \rightarrow 2\text{AlCl}_3 + 3\text{H}_22Al+6HCl→2AlCl3+3H2
The hydrogen collected has a volume of 7.2 dm3 at room temperature and pressure. One mole of any gas occupies 24 dm3 at room temperature and pressure. One mole of aluminium has a mass of 27 g.
What is the mass of aluminium that reacted?
5.4 g5.4\ \text{g}5.4 g
12.2 g12.2\ \text{g}12.2 g
2.7 g2.7\ \text{g}2.7 g
8.1 g8.1\ \text{g}8.1 g
