Marks: +1, -0
The drain cleaner, Drainex contains small bits of aluminium which react with caustic soda to produce dihydrogen. What volume of dihydrogen at 20°C and one bar will be released when 0.15 g of aluminium reacts?
Solution:  
The reaction between aluminium and caustic soda is
2Al2×27=54g\underset{2 \times 27 = 54\,\mathrm{g}}{2\mathrm{Al}} + 2NaOH + 2H2O2\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}2NaAlO2+3H23×22.4 L at STP2\mathrm{NaAlO}_2 + \underset{3 \times 22.4\ \mathrm{L}\ \text{at STP}}{3\mathrm{H}_2}
∴ 54 g of Al produces H2\mathrm{H}_2 at S.T.P. = 3 × 22.4 L
0.15 g of Al will produce H2\mathrm{H}_2 at S.T.P. = 3×22.454\frac{3 \times 22.4}{54} × 0.15 = 0.186 L
At STP
P1P_1 = 1 atm
V1V_1 = 0.186 L
T1T_1 = 273 K
Given conditions
P2P_2 = 1 bar = 0.987 atm
V2V_2 = ?
T2T_2 = 273 + 20 = 293 K
Applying ideal gas equation, P1V1T1\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = P2V2T2\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}
1×0.186273\frac{1 \times 0.186}{273} = 0.987×V2293\frac{0.987 \times V_2}{293}V2V_2 = 2930.987×1×0.186273\frac{293}{0.987} \times \frac{1 \times 0.186}{273} = 0.2030 L = 203 mL
