Question

If 6 litres of hydrogen and 4 litres of chlorine are mixed and exploded and if water is added to the gases formed, find the volume of the residual gas.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

[By Gay Lussac's law] 1 Vol. of chlorine reacts with = 1 Vol. of hydrogen 4 litres of chlorine will react with only 4 litres of hydrogen, hence, 6 - 4 = 2 litres of hydrogen will remain unreacted. Since, vol. of HCl gas formed is twice that of chlorine used, vol.of HCl formed will be 4 x 2 = 8 litres However HCl dissolves in water. Hence, 2 litres of hydrogen is the residual gas, as HCl formed dissolves in water.
