What volume of hydrogen chloride gas will result when hydrogen gas is combined with 58.35 liters of chlorine gas? I need help balancing the equation also.

H2(g) + Cl2(g) ==> 2HCl(g)

thank you

To determine the volume of hydrogen chloride gas that will result from the combination of hydrogen gas and chlorine gas, you first need to balance the chemical equation.

The balanced equation for the reaction between hydrogen gas (H2) and chlorine gas (Cl2) to form hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) is:

H2 + Cl2 -> 2 HCl

Now let's calculate the volume of hydrogen chloride gas:

1. Convert the volume of chlorine gas from liters to moles using the Ideal Gas Law equation: PV = nRT

Assuming the conditions are at standard temperature and pressure (STP), where T = 273 K and P = 1 atm, we can use the conversion factor of 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters.

58.35 liters of Cl2 * (1 mol Cl2 / 22.4 L Cl2) = 2.6 moles of Cl2

2. Since the reaction is balanced in a 1:1 ratio between Cl2 and HCl, the moles of HCl produced will also be 2.6 moles.

3. Convert the moles of HCl gas to volume in liters using the same ratio:

2.6 moles HCl * (22.4 L HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 58.24 liters of HCl gas

Therefore, when hydrogen gas is combined with 58.35 liters of chlorine gas under the given conditions, it will result in 58.24 liters of hydrogen chloride gas.
