Question

In a lab, 400 ML of hydrogen gas reacts with 400 ML of chlorine gas. what product would form and how much of the product would form?

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP

Answer 1

The product is hydrogen chloride gas

Volume of product = 800 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

H2 + Cl2 ----> 2HCl

From the above balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of hydrogen gas, H2 reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas, Cl2 to produce 2 moles of hydrogen chloride gas, HCl.

The mole ratio of reactants and products is 1 : 1 ---> :2

According to Gay-Lussac's law of combining volume which states that the volume of gases which take part in a chemical reaction bear a simple whole number ratio to one another and to the volume of products, if gaseous, at constant temperature and pressure.

Therfore, if 400 ml each of hydrogen and chlorine gas react, the product will be 2 * 400 ml of Hydrogen chloride gas = 800ml of hydrogen chloride gas
