Detailed Solution

The displacement reaction is

Zn(s)   +  2HCl(aq)  ZnCl2(aq)  +  H2(g)

65 g        2×6.023×1023                           1        mole

6.5 g          6.023×1022                                 x      mole

The stoichiometric relation between  Zn and  H2 is

ZnH2

65 g1 mole

6.5 gx mole

x=0.1 mole of H2

The relation between HCl and H2 is

2 HClH2

2×6.023×10231 mole

6.023×1022x mole

x=1.0 mol H22×6.023×1023×6.023×1022=0.05 moles of H2

Here, the limiting reagent is HCl because small amount of product H2 is formed.
