Question

If 0.80 mol of MnO2 and 146 g of HCl react, then number of moles of Cl2 formed is (as nearest integer):
MnO2+4HClMnCl2+Cl2+2H2O

Open in App
Solution

146 g HCl=14636.5=4 mol

MnO21mol+4HCl4molMnCl2+Cl21mol+2H2O
Initial 0.8 mol 4 mol 0 mol
After 0 mol 0.8 mol 0.8 mol

Thus, MnO2 (less) is the limiting reagent and HCl is in excess.
The amount of product is decided by MnO2.
Cl2 formed =0.8 mol 1 mol.
