Answer:
15 moles of hydrogen gas are needed to react with 15 moles of chlorine gas.
Explanation:
The balanced reaction is:
H₂ (g) + Cl₂ (g) → 2 HCl (g)
By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of the compounds participate in the reaction:
- H₂: 1 mole
- Cl₂: 1 mole
- HCl: 2 moles
Then you can apply the following rule of three: If 1 mole of Cl₂ reacts with 1 mole of H₂, 15 moles of Cl₂ with how many moles of H₂ does it react?
[tex]moles of H_{2} =\frac{15 moles of Cl_{2} *1mole of H_{2}}{1moles of Cl_{2}}[/tex]
moles of H₂= 15
15 moles of hydrogen gas are needed to react with 15 moles of chlorine gas.
