    Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. A student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.484 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coating (to expose the underlying zinc). The student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the HCl (the copper remains undissolved): Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)→H2(g)+ZnCl2(aq) The student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 ∘C. The collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 L...
