Answer:

Yes it is because of the fact that they are leaving a negatively charged ion and that ion needs to bind with any free metal and note only a metal that is high than the other in the reactivity series can displace the other.

When 500.0 g of water is decomposed by electrolysis and the yield of hydrogen is only 75.3%, how much hydrogen chloride can be m

Evgen [1.6K]

The amount of hydrogen chloride that can be made is 1064 g

Why?

The two reactions are:

2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂ 75.3 % yield

H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl 69.8% yield

We have to apply a big conversion factor to go from grams of water (The limiting reactant), to grams of HCl, the final product. We have to be very careful with the coefficients and percentage yields!

$500.0gH_2O*\frac{1moleH_2O}{18.01 gH_2O}*\frac{2 moles H_2}{2 moles H_2O}*\frac{2.015g H_2}{1 mole H_2}*\frac{75.3 actual g}{100 theoretical g}=42.12 g H_2$
