Question

Interpret the following equation for a chemical reaction using the coefficients given:

Answer 1

Answer:  1 molecule of $H_2$ reacts with 1 molecule of $Cl_2$ to give 2 molecules of HCl.

1 mole of $H_2$ reacts with 1 mole of $Cl_2$ to give 2 moles of HCl.

Explanation:

The given balanced reaction is:

$H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2HCl(g)$

On the particulate level :

1 molecule of $H_2$ reacts with 1 molecule of $Cl_2$ to give 2 molecules of HCl.

On molar level:

1 mole of $H_2$ reacts with 1 mole of $Cl_2$ to give 2 moles of HCl.
