Solution

The correct option is A 1.12 litres
The Molar Volume, represented by Vm, is the volume occupied by one mole of a substance which can be a chemical element or a chemical compound at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). It can be calculated by dividing Molar mass (M) by mass density (ρ). One mole of any gas at a particular temperature and pressure has fixed volume and known as its Molar gas volume.
The balanced chemical reaction is
2Al+6HCl2AlCl3+3H2

Now given 0.9g of aluminum. Therefore moles of aluminum =0.927=130.
Apply unitary method and solve:
2 mol Al gives 3 mol H2
Then 130 mol Al will give =32×130

=120molH2.
Now convert mol to volume.

V =120×22.4L

=1.12L.
