Answer:

4.43 g Cl₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of Cl₂, you need to (1) convert moles HCl to moles Cl₂ (via the mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients) and then (2) convert moles Cl₂ to grams (via the molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 significant figures like the given value.

4 HCl(g) + O₂(g) -----> 2 Cl₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)
^ ^

Molar Mass (Cl₂): 2(35.453 g/mol)

Molar Mass (Cl₂): 70.906 g/mol

0.125 moles HCl 2 moles Cl₂ 70.906 g
-------------------------- x ---------------------- x ------------------- = 4.43 g Cl₂
4 moles HCl 1 mole

What is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium?

Nadusha1986 [10]

The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.

Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming $GeH_4$ molecule which is stable in nature.
