Question

Calculate the volime of chlorine at ntp when kmno4 reacts with hcl

Answer 1

Answer:

Potassium permanganate reacts with hydrochloric acid according the following equation:

2KMnO_4+16HCl\rightarrow 2KCl+2MnCl_2+8H_2O+5Cl_22KMnO

4

+16HCl→2KCl+2MnCl

2

+8H

2

O+5Cl

2

2 moles of KMnO_4KMnO

4

produces 5 moles of Cl_2Cl

2

1 mole of KMnO_4KMnO

4

will produce 2.5 moles of Cl_2Cl
