In the reaction, Ca + 2H2O = Ca(OH)2 + H2; what volume (c.c.) of hydrogen at STP would be liberated, when 8 gm of calcium reacts with excess water ? (Atomic weight of calcium = 40) ?

Correct answer: A. 4480

  • A. 4480
  • B. 2240
  • C. 1120
  • D. 0.4

Explanation

Eight grams of calcium represents 8/40 = 0.2 mol, and the stoichiometry gives 0.2 mol of hydrogen. At STP, this occupies 0.2 × 22,400 = 4,480 cc, so option a follows.
