CHEMISTRY | QN 06 | MOLE CONCEPT


1dm3 of hydrogen reacted with chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride gas at S.T.P Calculate;
i. The volume of hydrogen chloride formed.
ii. The mole of hydrogen chloride formed.


  • Data:


    Volume = 1 dm3
    Molar Volume of S.T.P = 22.4 dm3
    Asked:
    i. Volume of hydrogen chloride formed
    ii. Mass of hydrogen chloride formed
    iii. Moles of hydrogen chloride formed.


    The balance chemical equation for the reaction
    H2(g) + CL2(g) → 2HCL(g)

  • i/ Calculate Volume of H2 produced.


    Mole = Volume / Molar volume
    = 1dm3 / 22.4dm3/ mole
    = 0.04464 mole of H2

    Make the mole equivalent between H2 and HCL

    1 Mole of H2 Ξ 2 Mole of HCL
    0.0446mole of H2 Ξ ?? of H2

    = (0.0446 moles × 2moles) / 1 moles
    = 0.0892 mole of HCL

    Convert 0.0892 moles of HCL into volume

    Volume = mole × molar volume at S.T.P
    = 0.0892 mole × 22.4dm3/mole
    = 2dm3
    2dm3 of hydrogen chloride gas was formed
  • ii/ Calculate the mass of hydrogen Chloride formed


    use the equivalent moles between H2 and HCL formed
    1 mole of H2 Ξ 2 moles of HCL
    0.0446 mole of H2 Ξ ?? of HCL

    = (0.0446 mole × 2 mole) / 1 mole
    = 0.0446 mole of HCL

    convert 0.0446 mole of HCL into mass
    Mass = mole × molar mass
    Mass = 0.0446 mole × 36.5 g/mole
    = 1.6279g
    1.6279g of hydrogen chloride was formed.
  • iii/ Calculate the moles of hydrogen chloride formed.


    From mole equivalent between H2 and HCL

    1 mole of H2 Ξ 2 mole of HCL
    0.0446 mole of H2 Ξ ?? of HCL

    = (0.0446 mole × 2 moles) / 1 mole
    = 0.0446mole of HCL

    0.0446 mole of hydrogen chloride was formed
