The number of grams of Cl2 formed when 0.385 mol HCl reacts with an excess of O2 is 13.6675 g.
<h3>What are moles?</h3>A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 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.
