Texts: We have the following reactions:
1) Lead + hydrochloric acid -> lead(II) chloride + hydrogen gas
2) Tin + hydrochloric acid -> stannous chloride + hydrogen gas
Assuming that a common solder has 60% tin and 40% lead, and that both reactions have 100% yield, answer the following:
a) If 35 g of solder reacts in an excess of acid, calculate the total moles of hydrogen gas that will form.
b) Calculate the mass of solder required to produce 0.85 g of hydrogen gas.
