Zinc and HCl react according to the following reaction:
Zn(s) + HCl(aq)-------->ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Zn(s) + HCl(aq)-------->ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
-
you have written with a mistake your reaction .
The good away is
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq)-------->ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
so you need 2 moles of HCl to neutralize 1 mole of Zn
So 0.52 moles of HCl produce 0.52/2= 0.26 moles of gas H2
The good away is
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq)-------->ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
so you need 2 moles of HCl to neutralize 1 mole of Zn

Your eqn is wrong - should be 2HCl. Therefore, mol of H2 = 0.52/2 = 0.26
