When 22.4 litres of H2(g) is mixed with 11.2 litres of Cl2(g), each at S.T.P. the moles of HCl(g) formed is equal to
- 1 mol of HCl(g)
- 2 mol of HCl(g)
- 0.5 mol of HCl(g)
- 1.5 mol of HCl(g)
Answer
(1) 1 mol of HCl(g)
Solution
H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2HCl(g)
At S.T.P., 22.4 L = 1 mol.
nH2 = 22.422.4 = 1 mol, nCl2 = 11.222.4 = 0.5 mol
H2 and Cl2 react in 1 : 1 ratio, Cl2 is the limiting reagent.
nHCl = 2 0.5 = 1 mol
Answer: (1)
