Question

Cl2 and N2 react according to the following equation 3Cl2(g) + N2(g) rightarrow 2NCl3(g) If 4 L of a stoichiometric mixture of chlorine and nitrogen are converted to nitrogen trichloride under conditions of constant temperature and pressure what is the volume of NCl3(g) produced?

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of NCl3 is 3L

Explanation:

Avogadro states: All gases at the same volume under temperature and pressure constant have the same number of moles.

The chemical equation is:

3Cl2(g) + N2(g) → 2NCl3(g)

Where 3 moles of chlorine reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen to produce 2 moles of NCl3.

But using Avogadros law we can say:

3L of chlorine and 1L of nitrogen produce 2L of Nitrogen trichloride.

3L of chlorine and 1L of nitrogen: 4L (The stoichiometric mixture)

That means, volume of NCl3 produced is 3L
