Question
Arsine, AsH3, was once a product of a test used in forensic analysis. Tissues from a possible poisoning victim
were treated with zinc and sulfuric acid. If arsenic was present (usually as diarsenic trioxide, As203), arsine
would form:
As₂03 (s) + 6 Zn(s) + 6 H₂SO4(aq) ----> 2 AsH3(g) + 6 ZnSO4(aq) + 3 H₂O(1)
a) In a lab exercise, a forensic technician reacts 19.8 g of AS₂O3 with 32.7 g of Zinc in the presence of excess
sulfuric acid. What mass of AsH3 will be produced?
b) Use the same chemical reaction, create a question which needs to be solved by percentage yield.
