Question

4HCl(g)+O2(g)⟶2Cl2(g)+2H2O(g) Calculate the number of grams of Cl2 formed when 0.385 mol HCl reacts with an excess of O2. mass: g

Answer 1

The number of grams of Cl2 formed when 0.385 mol HCl reacts with an excess of O2 is 13.6675 g.

What are moles?

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × $10^{23}$ of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

Given data:

Moles of hydrochloric acid = 0.385 mol

Mass of chlorine gas =?

Chemical equation:

4HCl +  O₂ → 2Cl₂  + 2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with HCl.

                 HCl           :               Cl₂

                   4             :               2

                0.385       :              2÷4× 0.385 = 0.1925 mol

Oxygen is present in excess that's why the mass of chlorine produced depends upon the available amount of HCl.

Mass of Cl₂ :

Mass of Cl₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of Cl₂ =0.1925 mol × 71 g/mol

Mass of Cl₂ =  13.6675 g

Hence, the number of grams of Cl2 formed when 0.385 mol HCl reacts with an excess of O2 is 13.6675 g.
