Answer #1

K Balanced equation:
MnO2 + 4 HCl ====> MnCl2 + 2 H2O + Cl2

Let us calculate the moles of Cl2 using following ideal gas equation

PV= nRT

P = Pressure in atm =   725 Torr =  0.953947 atm   V= Volume in Liter = 275 ml = 0.275 Liter

n = no of moles = ?   R = 0.08206 L atm K-1 Mol-1

T = Temperature in Kelvin = 298 K

n = PV / RT

n =  0.953947 atm x 0.275 L / 0.08206 L atm K-1 Mol-1 x 298 K = 0.01072 Moles

Moles of Cl2 produced = 0.01072 Moles

Moles of MnO2 required =  0.01072 Moles

Molar mass of MnO2 = 86.936 g/mol

Mass of MnO2 required =  0.01072 Moles x 86.93 g/mol =  0.9319 g

Balanced equation: MnO2 + 4 HCl = MnCl2 + 2 H2O + Cl2 Reaction stoichiometry Limiting reagent Compound Coefficient Molar Mass
