Metal hydrides are metal alloys that can store significant quantities of hydrogen in their atomic lattice. For this reason, they are considered potentially attractive for the on-board storage of hydrogen for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. A certain metal hydride alloy can store 2 wt% hydrogen and has a density (including the hydrogen) of 12 g?cm3. Treating hydrogen as an ideal gas, what pressure would beneeded tocompressgaseous hydrogen tothesameequivalent concentration thatit attains when absorbed in the metal hydride?
