5.6. The chemical equation for the reaction is
                                    2 Al + 2 NaOH + H2O? 2 NaAlO2 + 3H2 
i.e. 2 moles of Al give 3 moles of H2 gas.

Moles of aluminium = 270.15g = 5.56*10?3 moles

Moles of H2 produced= 23*5.56*10?3

           = 8.33*10?3 moles

           Volume of H2 = nRT /
