Answer

9.0 L

Work Step by Step

Moles of Al= $\frac{mass\,of\,Al}{molar\,mass\,of\,Al}=\frac{6.5\,g}{26.98\,g/mol}$ $=0.2409 mol$ When 2 moles of Al is reacted, according to the equation, 3 moles of $H_{2}$ is produced. 1 mol of Al produces $\frac{3}{2}=1.5$ moles of $H_{2}$. $\implies$ moles of $H_{2}$ produced (n)$=1.5\times0.2409\,mol=0.36135\,mol$ $P=742\, mmHg\times\frac{1\,atm}{760\, mmHg}=0.9763\,atm$ $T=(22.0+273)K= 295\,K$ $PV=nRT$ (ideal gas law) $\implies V= \frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{(0.36135\,mol)(0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1})(295\,K)}{0.9763\,atm}$ $=9.0\,L\,H_{2}$
