When exposed to UV light, chlorine and hydrogen gases explosively combine to form hydrogen chloride gas. Assuming a sufficiently strong reaction vessel how much HCl (in atm) can be formed when hydrogen and chlorine are each at 5.0 atm (assume volume and temperature are constant)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

10 atm.

Explanation:

Given The equation in the balanced form

H2+ Cl2 ⇒2HCl

At constant pressure and volume

1 atm of H2 gives 2 atm of HCl

Therefore, 5 atm of H2 gives 5×2 = 10 atm of HCl.

Therefore, the pressure of HCl  formed = 10 atm.

Since each of the reacting gases has a pressure of 5 atm, the product gas will have a pressure of 10 atm.

The equation of the reaction is;

H2(g) + Cl2(g) -----> 2HCl(g)

According to Gay - Lussac's law, when gases react, they do in volume which are in simple ratio to one another and to their gaseous product at constant temperature and pressure.

The ratio of the reacting gases is 1 : 1 : 2. Since each of the reacting gases has a pressure of 5 atm, the product gas will have a pressure of 10 atm.
