  Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas as shown in the reaction below: Zn(s) + 2HCl (aq) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) The mass of zinc was 0.225 g, the barometric pressure was 750 mm Hg, the temperature was 20oC. Assuming all the zinc reacted, find the volume of gas (H2) collected.  R = 62.358 L torr/mol K MM(Zn) = 65.38 g/mol

“The reason why we find ourselves in a position of impotency is not because our only powerful potential enemy has sent men to invade our shores . . . but rather because of the traitorous actions of those who have been treated so well by this Nation. It has not been the less fortunate, or members of minority groups who have been traitorous to this Nation, but rather those who have had the benefits that the wealthiest Nation on earth has had to offer . . . the finest homes, the finest college education, and the finest jobs in government we can give. This is glaringly true in the State Department. There the bright young men who are born with silver spoons in their mouths are the ones who have been most traitorous.” Senator Joseph McCarthy, speech in Wheeling, West Virginia, 1950

“[W]e must, by means of a rapid and sustained build-up of the political, economic, and military strength of the free world, and by means of an affirmative program intended to wrest the initiative from the Soviet Union, confront it with convincing evidence of the determination and ability of the free world to frustrate the Kremlin design of a world dominated by its will. Such evidence is the only means short of war which eventually may force the Kremlin to abandon its present course of action and to negotiate acceptable agreements on issues of major importance. “The whole success of the proposed program hangs ultimately on recognition by this Government, the American people, and all free peoples, that the cold war is in fact a real war in which the survival of the free world is at stake. . . . The prosecution of the program will require of us all the ingenuity, sacrifice, and unity demanded by the vital importance of the issue and the tenacity to persevere until our national objectives have been attained.” NSC-68: United States Objectives and Programs for National Security, 1950
