Solution Summary
This solution takes you through four steps: set up the chemical reaction, convert 0.248 g into moles, from the number of moles of Zn find the number of moles of H2, with the number of moles of H2 find the volume of gas using the formula: V = (nRT)/P. 150 words.

There are multiple steps in this problem:
1) First you have to set up the chemical reaction
2Zn + 2HCl = H2 +2ZnCl
2) Now you have to convert 0.248 g into moles
1 mole of Zn = 65.409 ...
