Question

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), as

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

MnO₂(s) + 4 HCl(aq)  = MnCl₂(aq) + 2 H₂O(l) + Cl₂

87 g                                                                     22.4 x 10³ mL

volume of given chlorine gas at NTP or at 760 Torr and 273 K

=  175 x ( 273 + 25 ) x 715 / (273 x 760 )

= 179.71 mL

22.4 x 10³ mL of chlorine requires 87 g of MnO₂

179.4 mL of chlorine will require    87 x 179.4 / 22.4 x 10³ g

= 696.77 x 10⁻³ g

= 696.77 mg .
