A piece of zinc is allowed to react with an excess quantity of sulfuric acid, and the hydrogen gas produced is collected in a gas buret by displacement of water. The other product is zinc sulfate solution.
a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
b) Neglecting the effect of the vapor pressure of water on the system, calculate how many mg of zinc would generate 92.0 mL of the gas at a temperature of 25.0 °C and a pressure of 1.00 atm. The answer should have correct number of significant figures.
