14.0 g of calcium metal is allowed to react with excess HCl at 1.0 atm pressure and 273 K. Which of the following statements is incorrect? [Given : Molar mass in mathrmg \ mol^-1 of Ca–40, Cl–35.5, H–1]

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula mathrmCa_(mathrms) + 2mathrmHCl_(mathrmg) longrightarrow mathrmCaCl_2(mathrms) + mathrmH_2(mathrmg) ### Core Logic Number of moles of Calcium (n_Ca) = fractextGiven masstextMolar mass = frac14.040 = 0.35 mol. Since HCl is in excess, Calcium is the limiting reagent. From stoichiometry, 1 mole of Ca produces 1 mole of H_2 gas and 1 mole of CaCl_2. Moles of H_2 evolved = 0.35 mol. Volume of H_2 at STP (1 atm, 273 K) = 0.35 times 22.4 L = 7.84 L. Mass of CaCl_2 produced = 0.35 times textMolar mass of CaCl_2 = 0.35 times (40 + 71) = 0.35 times 111 = 38.85 g. Option (3) states 33.3 g of CaCl_2 is produced, which is incorrect. ### Step 1: Final Conclusion Statement (3) is incorrect. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
