Zinc dissolves in hydrochloric acid to yield hydrogen gas: zn(s) + 2hcl(aq) → zncl2(aq) + h2(g) when a 12.7 g chunk of zinc dissolves in 500. ml of 1.450 m hcl, what is the concentration of hydrogen ions remaining in the final solution?

First calculate the initial moles of HCl.

HCl moles i = (1.45 moles / L) * 0.5 L = 0.725 moles HCl

Then calculate how much HCl is consumed by stoichiometry:

HCl moles consumed = (12.7 g Zn / 65.38 g / mol) * (2 moles HCl / 1 mole Zn) = 0.388 moles

So HCl moles left is:

HCl moles f = 0.725 – 0.388 = 0.3365 moles

For every 1 mole HCl there is 1 mole H, therefore:

H moles final = 0.3365 moles

So final concentration of H ions is:

Concentration H = 0.3365 moles / 0.5 L = 0.673 M

yes, water is wet, just as it makes other things wet, it is wet itself, kinda like ice, when ice is in water, the ice makes water cold, and ice is cold, therefore with that example, water is wet
