First, we need the balanced equation: H₂ + Cl₂ ---> 2HCl
since not much information is given, I am assuming we are at STP and that 22.4 Liters= 1 mol
1) let's convert the volume to moles using the molar volume of a gas. also we need to convert the cm₃ to mL, then to Liters.
8 cm³ (1 ml/ 1 cm³)(1 L/ 1000 mL) (1 mol/ 22.4 Liters)= 3.6x10⁻⁴ moles of H₂
2) let's use the mole ratio of the balanced equation to convert moles of H₂ to moles of HCl
3.6x10⁻⁴ mol H₂ (2 mol HCl/ 1 mol H₂)= 7.1x10⁻⁴ mol HCl
3) lastly, we convert the moles of HCl to grams using the molar mass.
molar mass of HCl= 1.01 + 35.5= 36.51 g/mol
7.1x10⁻⁴ mol HCl (36.51 g/mol)=<span> 0.026 grams HCl</span>
To measure a vector is to characterize both its direction (in one form or another) and a value (usually, a number). For example, velocity of a car moving on the road is a vector and, to measure it, we have to specify its direction (e.g. North or at angle 20 degrees from the North) and value (e.g. 40 m/sec).
