Zinc metal reacts with excess hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas according to the following equation: Zn(s) + 2HCI(aq)¬ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) The product gas, H,, is collected over water at a temperature of 20 °C and a pressure of 755 mm Hg. If the wet H, gas formed occupies a volume of 6.66 L, the number of moles of Zn reacted was mol. The vapor pressure of water is 17.5 mm Hg at 20 °C.
