Zn reacts with H2SO4 according to the following formula:

Zn + H2SO4 ----> ZnSO4 + H2.

Therefore;
-->1 mole of Zn react to give 1 mole of Hydrogen.
-->Volume to 1 mole of Hydrogen is 22400 c.c.
-->1 mole of Zn is 65 gm.

So,
65 gm Zn reacts then gives 22400 c.c. H2.
For 224 c.c. H2 how much Zn required.

= {224*65}÷{22400}.
= 0.65.
