Question

metal oxide MO2 reacts with excess HCl to produce chlorine gas at STP as given by the following unbalanced equation:MO2 (s) + HCl (aq) -,> MCl2 (aq) + Cl2 (g) + H20 (l) a. determine limiting reactantb. calculate the mass of MCl2 produced in the reactionc. calculate the percentage yield if the actual mass of MCl2 produced is 0.078g

Answer 1

1st) It is necessary to balance the chemical equation:

`MO_2+4\text{HCl}\rightarrow MCl_2+Cl_2+2H_2O`

2nd)
