The number of mole of H₂ that are required to react with 3.2 moles Cl₂ is 3.2 moles

How to calculate the number of mole of H₂ required?

The number of mole of H₂ that are required to react with 3.2 moles Cl₂

can easily be calculated for by carefully observing the equation of the reaction. This is illustrated below:

The balanced equation for the reaction of hydrogen gas and chlorine gas is shown below:


H_2\ +\ Cl_2\ \rightleftharpoons\ 2HCl

From the balanced equation show above, we can see that:

1 mole of Cl₂ reacted with 1 mole of H₂

Therefore,

3.2 moles of Cl₂ will definitely react with the same amount (i.e 3.2 moles) of H₂

Thus, we can conclude that the number of mole of H₂ required for the reaction is 3.2 moles
