What will be the volume of chlorine gas at S.T.P. produced during electrolysis of water molten magnesium chloridewhich produces 6.5 gram of mg
1. The electrolysis reaction is as follows:
MgCl (l) Mg(s) + Cl2(g)
2. 1 mole MgCl gives 1 mole Mg and 1 mole of Chlorine gas.
Number of moles of Mg (given) =
Thus 0.268 moles of Chlorine gas is produced.
3. 1 mole of a gas at STP has Volume 22.4 L
0.268 mole has volume = 22.4 0.268 = 6.00 L
MgCl (l) Mg(s) + Cl2(g)
2. 1 mole MgCl gives 1 mole Mg and 1 mole of Chlorine gas.
Number of moles of Mg (given) =
Thus 0.268 moles of Chlorine gas is produced.
3. 1 mole of a gas at STP has Volume 22.4 L
0.268 mole has volume = 22.4 0.268 = 6.00 L
