A sample of solid zinc was reacted with a sample of hydrochloric acid as shown in the reaction. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) The H2 gas produced was collected by displacement of water at 27 degrees Celsius at a total pressure of 0.219 atm. The volume of gas collected over the water was 0.450 L, and the vapor pressure of the water at 27 degrees Celsius is 0.036 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of H2 in the gas collected. Report your answer to the correct number of significant figures as well as with the correct units.
