grams HCl = 339 grams

Explanation:

First, find how many moles of H_2 gas will take up 104 liters.

(1 mol H_2(g))/(22.4L) = ("x" mol H_2(g))/(104L)

x = 4.642857143mols

Now use the reaction coefficients to find the moles of hydrochloric acid needed to form the above moles of hydrogen gas.

mols HCl = 4.642857143molsH_2 * (2 mols HCl)/(1 mol H_2)

mols HCl = 9.285714286

To find grams of HCl just multiply the moles of HCl by its molar mass.

grams HCl = 9.285714286mols HCl * 36.46094 g/(mol).

grams HCl = 338.565871439 grams

Since you only have 3 sig figs, the answer would be:

grams HCl = 339 grams
