Question

Question 6.

25.4g of iodine and 14.2g of chlorine are made to react completely to yield a mixture

of IClICl and ICl3ICl3. Calculate the ratio of moles of IClICl and ICl3ICl3:

a.1: 1

b.2: 1

c.3: 1

d.1: 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

a.1: 1

Explanation:

Balanced reaction is given below:

I

2

+2Cl

2

→ICl+ICl

3

Stoichiometry coefficient of ICl and ICl

3

are equal. So, every time equal number of moles of ICl and ICl

3

will be produced irrespective of amount of reactant used.

So, ratio of moles of ICl and ICl

3

produced is 1:1.
