The local anesthetic ethyl chloride ( C2H5Cl, molar mass = 64.50
g
- according to the following balanced equation:
can be prepared by the reaction of ethylene ( C2H4, molar mass = 28.05
hydrogen chloride ( HC1, molar mass = 36.45
C2H4 + HCI -+ C2H5Cl
Assuming 14.00 g of ethylene and 24.00 g of hydrogen chloride are used, answer the following questions:
How many moles of hydrogen chloride are used? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures.
moles of hydrogen chloride =
mol HC1
