Question

10cm^3 oxygen gas reacts with chlorine gas to form 20cm^3 of a gaseous oxide of chlorine. this oxide has a reactive molecular mass of 87. what is the formula of the oxide?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 cc of O2 reacts with 20 cc of Cl2 to produce 20 cc of dichlorine monooxde gas which has a molecular mass of 87

O₂ + 2Cl₂ -----> 2Cl₂O
