Some commercial drain cleaners contain a mixture of sodium hydroxide and aluminum powder. When the mixture is poured down a
clogged drain, the following reaction occurs:
2NaOH(aq) + 2Al(s) + 6H₂O(1)
2NaAl(OH) (aq) + 3H2(g)
The heat generated in this reaction helps melt away obstructions such as grease, and the hydrogen gas released stirs up the solids
clogging the drain. Calculate the volume of H, formed at 35.5 °C and 1.00 atm if 3.62 g of Al is treated with an excess of NaOH.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
