| Explanation:
CuO + H2 = t °> Cu + H2O
Calculate the amount of substance of copper oxide:
n (CuO) = m (CuO) / M (CuO) = 16/80 = 0.2 mol,
In the reaction equation, CuO and H2 face the same coefficients. This means that the numbers of moles of these substances are equal:
n (H2) = n (CuO) = 0.2 mol
Hence:
V (H2) = n (H2) ⋅ Vm = 0.2 ⋅ 22.4 = 4.48 L
